Webinar: How Louisiana can grow its economy, clean its environment, and cut emissions

The Louisiana Governor’s Office, the Water Institute of the Gulf, and nonpartisan think tank Energy Innovation present on the launch of the Louisiana Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) and its modeling of how potential climate policies could cut greenhouse gas emissions while strengthening the state’s economy and generating health and other community benefits.

The Louisiana EPS is a state-of-the-art peer-reviewed public modeling tool that allows users to evaluate specific climate policy proposals and assess the economic, jobs, and public health impacts of those policies in an easy-to-use web interface. Energy Innovation worked with the Louisiana Governor’s Office and the Water Institute of the Gulf to develop the Louisiana EPS, which uses national and state data to forecast emissions reductions of potential climate policies, as well as other benefits like job creation and improved public health.

During this webinar, experts at the Water Institute will share how they are supporting the Governor’s Office in managing a one-year planning process to develop the state’s first-ever climate action plan. The process is using the Louisiana EPS to forecast consequences, leading to policies and decisions that are grounded in sound science and data. You’ll also get to hear from Energy Innovation modelers who will provide a demonstration of the new tool’s capabilities, and explain why their research shows adopting stronger climate policies is likely to add nearly $30 billion to the state’s economy by 2030.
