Carol's leadership in her 25 years at EESI has had a profoundly positive impact on US energy and environment policy. One example: EESI's Congressional briefing on serious health and climate effects of black carbon emissions and opportunities to reduce them, was a key building block to US leadership and the now 21-nation agreement to reduce emissions of soot, methane and hydroflurocarbons
