The American University Center for Environmental Policy, the Security and Sustainability Forum, the National League of Cities, ICMA and the World Resources Institute are proud to convene “Climate and Energy Progress and Opportunities,” a second annual symposium on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
This symposium will focus on the role of local and state governments at the frontline of climate change in developing and implementing IRA-funded projects. The event will explore the ways in which remote, rural, and historically disenfranchised communities are working towards a clean energy transformation along with climate mitigation as well as how urban communities are seeking climate resilience.
The goals of the symposium are to present considerations for regulators to address the needs of frontline communities and to offer promising practices that communities can use in advancing their climate, energy and economic goals.
