Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
The mission of the California Foundation on the Environment and the Economy is to convene broad roundtable dialogues in the areas of energy, water, transportation, telecommunications and technology, housing, and the circular economy. Our participants include leaders from across California representing labor, business, environmental, and state and local government. Our dialogues take place both in state and through study travel projects designed to maximize the exchange of information, learn about new technological developments abroad, and explore common ground among our diverse participants. CFEE continually monitors the many complex issues facing California in our key issue areas.

CFEE held four conferences focused on a variety of topics within our issue areas.Key accomplishments in our conferences during 2023 included:1. Assessing how many new energy projects are needed to meet state climate goals, considering how to move more quickly in building new energy infrastructure, and evaluating opportunities to manage rising costs.2. Examining existing and potential future funding sources for roadways and public transit, identifying land use policies that align housing and transportation needs, the buildout of Californias growing electric vehicle market and charging stations, and developing transportation solutions that work for urban and rural communities alike.3. Understanding federal and state funding opportunities to deploy broadband networks, highlighting solutions to build communications infrastructure more efficiently while still incorporating community feedback, considering Californias role in cybersecurity, and learning about the development of artificial intelligence, including its risks and benefits.4. Evaluating Californias progress in becoming more resilient to weather extremes, studying the energy-water nexus, leveraging data to make more informed water management decisions, and identifying options to addressing rising prices in the water sector.

CFEE conducted four study travel projects in 2023. The projects facilitate handson learning in our key issue areas.CFEE conducted a study travel project to Denmark to learn how the small nation is leading the world with its commitment to carbon capture and storage and offshore wind energy technologies. The program also highlighted what is being done in Denmark to develop a carbon-neutral agricultural sector while ensuring food security and water supply sustainability.The second study travel project was held in British Columbia and Alberta, and it focused on the circular economy and recycling. The program featured best practices on recycling construction materials, bottle and can reuse and recycling, developing composting infrastructure, carbon capture usage and sequestration, plastics reduction and recycling, and the transition to zero waste communities and businesses. The third study travel project was in California where the program highlighted best practices and new technologies in Southern California. Featured projects included water reuse and storage facilities, workforce training for energy and construction workers, the transition to hydrogen fuels at power plants and in homes, refining of Californias special blend of gasoline and jet fuel, geothermal and lithium extraction in the Salton Sea, nuclear fusion research, tribal partnerships with state and local government, and public transit and rail development.Our fourth and final tour brought CFEE to France to learn how nuclear energy is a key climate strategy providing carbon-free baseload energy for the French and European electricity grid. Additionally, the program explored how France built, finances, and operates its high speed rail system, one of the most successful networks in the world. The study tour also highlighted climate adaption for farming practices and the transition to lower carbon fuels in the shipping and aviation industries.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
