In 2007, ''[[Commentary (magazine)|Commentary]]'', a magazine published by AJC that focused on political and cultural commentary and analysis of politics and society in the U.S. and the Middle East, separated from AJC and became its own organization. In 2008, AJC stopped publishing the ''[[American Jewish Year Book]]'', a highly detailed annual account of the Jewish life in the U.S., Israel and the world.{{Citation needed|date=October 2015}}

AJC became increasingly involved in the advocacy of [[United States energy independence|energy independence for the U.S]]. on the grounds that this would reduce dependence on foreign, especially Arab, oil; boost the American economy; and improve the environment. AJC urged Congress and several presidential administrations to take action toward this goal, and called upon the private sector to be more energy-conscious. It adopted "Green" policies for itself institutionally, and in 2011 earned [[LEED certification]], denoting that its New York headquarters was energy efficient and environmentally sound.{{Citation needed|date=October 2015}}

As part of a new strategic plan adopted in 2009, AJC said it envisioned itself as the "Global Center for Jewish and Israel Advocacy" and the "Central 'Jewish Address' for Intergroup Relations and Human Rights." Its new tagline was "Global Jewish Advocacy."<ref name="c-span">{{cite web|url=http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293263-1 |title=Global Jewish Advocacy - C-SPAN Video Library |publisher=C-spanvideo.org |date=2010-04-30 |access-date=2012-10-19}}</ref>
