Overview
The Georgetown Climate Center (GCC), based within Georgetown Law School, has developed strong relationships with senior federal officials, state leaders, and state regulators working on a range of clean energy, clean transportation, and climate issues over many years. With support from the Hewlett Foundation, GCC will facilitate and staff a group of states with strong existing clean energy and climate programs to collectively advocate for a strong federal carbon standard for existing power plants. The GCC would also leverage a network of relationships they and these "leading states" have in order to outreach to and garner support from targeted "opportunity" states.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Georgetown Climate Center
The Georgetown Climate Center advances ambitious and equitable government responses to the climate crisis in the U.S. at the national, state, and local levels. The center supports state efforts to accelerate the deployment of clean electric power generation; advances policies and practices, at the federal and state levels, to ensure that transportation dollars are achieving low-carbon outcomes; and builds markets for lower-carbon cement and concrete used for transportation.

for Congressional Staff Digital Government Fellowship
Georgetown's McCourt School of Public Policy trains future leaders and conducts policy-relevant research in a multidisciplinary setting. This grant supports a pilot six-week Digital Government Policy Fellowship for Congressional staff. (Substrategy: Legislative Branch)
for support of the Center on Gender Justice & Opportunity
The Center on Gender Justice & Opportunity at Georgetown Law works to eliminate gender and racial disparities for girls. This grant will support the center to develop an implicit bias training for educators aimed at reducing the unjust, disproportionate rates of school-based exclusionary discipline experienced by Black girls, thereby improving their access to more equitable learning environments.
