The Trump administration’s effort to restructure the federal government is entering a new phase, with significant implications for energy and environmental policy.

We’re extending an exclusive invitation to our next E&E News subscriber briefing — a virtual conversation where our expert reporters analyze policy topics, explain policymaking, and answer your questions to help you plan your next move.

The fiscal 2026 budget blueprint proposes steep funding cuts to core programs at the Environmental Protection Agency, the Interior Department and the Department of Energy—including those focused on climate science, environmental enforcement and clean energy innovation. In parallel, agencies are advancing reorganization plans aimed at consolidating functions, redefining missions and reallocating resources in line with administration priorities.

Join POLITICO’s E&E News agency reporters on Thursday, May 29th, at 1:00pm ET for an in-depth briefing on how these changes could reshape the federal policy landscape. We’ll examine what’s on the chopping block, how internal agency dynamics are shifting, and what professionals across government, industry and advocacy need to prepare for next.
