How States & Cities Can Fully Harness Federal Climate Investments

Historic federal investments from the Biden-Harris Administration, including the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), are empowering state and local leaders to create impactful changes in communities across the country, particularly when it comes to addressing climate change and expanding access to clean energy. These initiatives are not abstract policies; they are actively improving lives, creating jobs, and boosting local economies in communities across the country.

During a recent discussion hosted by the NewDEAL Forum, government officials and experts offered insights about these programs as well as advice about how local governments and underserved communities can capitalize on federal investments.
