ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy

Imagine you have a really cool toy that is powered by energy. But, you also know that using too much energy can be bad for the environment, like the air we breathe and the animals we love. So, you come up with an idea to create a new toy that uses less energy but still works just as well.

Now, imagine this same idea but with big companies that make things like cars, buildings, and even the machines that make our toys. These companies make a lot of money by using lots of energy and sometimes they don’t think about the environment as much as they should.

That’s where the business for innovative climate and energy policy comes in - they help these big companies come up with new and creative ways to use less energy and help the environment. They create new rules and policies to encourage businesses to think about the environment more and help them find ways to make money by being friendly to the planet.

So, it’s like teaching a big group of grown-ups how to play with their toys in a way that’s healthy for the planet.
