Mission Statement:
The Energy and Environment Forum (EEF), as a student-run organization
of The Fletcher School, seeks to supplement our studies through a variety
of activities related to environmental and energy issues. These can
include inviting speakers, hosting forums and debates, organizing education
programs for EEF members as well as the Tufts and larger community,
career workshops, and advocacy for the environment on the international
level or the levels of our local community, and other appropriate activities.
What we do:
EEF works within The Fletcher School and
Tufts to promote environmental sustainability and awareness, encourage
the study of environment in an international relations context, and
conduct events both solely and in cooperation with the International
Environment and Resource Policy program chaired by Prof.
Bill Moomaw, the Tufts Institute
for the Environment, the undergraduate environmental group ECO,
the Urban and Environmental Policy program in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences,
and other bodies both on- and off-campus. EEF also works with relevant
Fletcher administrative offices to build career, internship and networking
opportunities for Fletcher students in the energy and environment fields.
Not only do we bring environmental events to Fletcher, but we take field
trips to sites of environmental interest around New England, like the
wastewater treatment facility at Deer Island in Boston Harbor.
Media Coverage:
The Fletcher Ledger has extensive coverage of past EEF and International
Environment and Resource Policy program events, plus environmental commentaries
and features. For past environmental stories in the Ledger archives,
