The Issue
The Trump team has made no secret of its focus on deregulation, particularly in environmental protection, climate change, clean energy, and environmental justice. These priorities were hallmarks of the first Trump administration, and as the new Trump term begins,
it is likely to approach these goals with even greater efficiency and focus.
However, history shows that it is possible to innovate and adapt even when facing sweeping policy shifts.

What You Will Learn
This webinar explores the experiences of federal environmental officials who successfully navigated the challenges of the first Trump administration. Despite the emphasis on deregulation, these leaders found creative ways to keep their energy, environmental,
and climate programs operational. They maintained progress on critical priorities by leveraging strategic alignment, finding common ground, and developing innovative frameworks.
Their experiences offer valuable insights for federal staff facing similar challenges today.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is ideal for federal agency staff, policymakers, environmental advocates, and stakeholders navigating the political transition into the second Trump administration. Whether you are a senior executive crafting operational strategies or a rising
leader facing a political transition for the first time, this session will provide invaluable guidance for aligning agency goals with shifting priorities while fostering resilience and innovation.
