Thankful for Our Audience, Our Growth, and the Work Ahead
This Thanksgiving week, the entire Environment+Energy Leader editorial team is taking a much-needed pause to spend time with friends and family—and to reflect with deep appreciation on what this community has helped us accomplish. Every article read, every episode streamed, every award submission, and every conversation shared across this industry plays a part in strengthening our collective progress toward a more sustainable future.
This year, our coverage reached readers and listeners across every region of the world. Our podcast map shows a truly global footprint, with 20,873 downloads since January:
These numbers affirm the growing international relevance of sustainability, energy policy, circularity, and decarbonization—issues that shape business and society across borders.
Our top articles of the year reflect the breadth of issues shaping today’s environmental and energy landscape—from federal rulings to infrastructure investments to climate-driven urban planning:
Policy, regulatory shifts, and systems innovation continue to drive exceptional engagement across our platform.
Our Sustainability Soundbites podcast delivered another strong year, with top-downloaded episodes including:
Across YouTube, viewership reached 36,638 views in 2025, reinforcing growing demand for accessible, bite-sized sustainability and energy insights.
The E+E Leader Awards program continues to expand, reflecting rising participation across product, project, startup, and spotlight categories. Each year, entrants demonstrate more sophisticated strategies, more measurable impacts, and more innovative pathways to operational efficiency and environmental leadership. Have you submitted an entry yet?
We are also grateful for the expansion of our partnership with the National Association for Environmental, Health & Safety, and Sustainability (EHS&S) Management (NAEM)—a collaboration that strengthens our shared commitment to advancing industry knowledge, professional development, and credible sustainability reporting.
Before the year wraps, we are hosting two high-impact events designed to help organizations navigate market volatility and unlock new pathways to energy and infrastructure value:
December 3 at 2:30 PM ET: Join Redaptive and Nuveen to explore a financing model that allows organizations to modernize energy infrastructure with no upfront capital, turning traditionally budget-constrained assets into strategic growth tools.
December 4 at 11:00 AM ET: Capacity prices across PJM are rising quickly. This session breaks down how the ELRP Price Floor Program guarantees $73,000 per MW-year and helps businesses plan confidently amid shifting market conditions.
Whether you are a longtime reader, a new subscriber, a podcast listener, an award entrant, or an industry partner, we are deeply grateful for your support. This community gives purpose and momentum to every story we cover.
Our editorial team will be offline briefly this week to recharge and return ready to deliver even more news, analysis, and insights in the weeks ahead.
From all of us at Environment+Energy Leader—
Thank you, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
