EDF Climate Corps: Reflections on 2012, Looking Ahead to 2013
By Katie Ware | Bio
2012 was a banner year for EDF Climate Corps. We celebrated five years of energy efficiency success and over $1.2 billion in identified energy savings. Below are a few reflections on 2012 and a couple opportunities on the horizon for 2013.
Looking Back on 2012
The Third Annual EDF Climate Corps Network Event
We would like to offer our sincere gratitude to everyone that attended our third annual Network Event and helped make it a smashing success. Extra thanks go out to our sponsors at AT&T and DirecTV.
Despite travel challenges related to Hurricane Sandy, more than 100 people attended the event at MIT November 1-2, including 2012 Climate Corps fellows, alumni from previous years, and representatives from host organizations across sectors. The theme of the event was the Virtuous Cycle of Organizational Energy Efficiency – the subject of our academic paper by the same name. Facilitated by Peter Senge and Jason Jay from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the two-day workshop used storytelling and small group conversations to highlight energy management practices that deliver systemic and lasting reductions in costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
Perhaps the most exciting takeaway from the event was the peer connections made and the conversations sparked. Attendees stuck around for quite some time after the event ended, following up on conversations and exchanging business cards – the true sign of an engaged Network!
We’re Proud of our Alumni
The impact of EDF Climate Corps continues as our fellows continue to be champions of energy efficiency throughout their careers. Our annual alumni survey, completed this fall, showed that former fellows are going on to leadership positions in business and civil society, leveraging their Climate Corps experience to transform energy use in the organizations where they now work. See a blog post about the survey results here.
Reflections from our Hosts

Based on these facts I dare to hope that the future will bring even better things in energy efficiency. I am glad to see students getting involved in this kind of project, that's reassuring. I am thinking about writing a lab report on it.

On so many levels, I am more angered by the so called generic commenter� than by the out and out spammer. You might ask why, at least the obvious spammer is more open and honest about their intentions! I know what they are doing. The so called generic spammer is a liar and a charlatan You can probably spot that I have very strong towards this group of charlatans
