Press Briefing: How to Cover the Inflation Reduction Act’s Roll-out

President Biden’s signature climate legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act, promises to reduce carbon emissions by more than 32% over the next 10 years. The legislation aims to create millions of clean energy jobs and loan millions to fund clean energy projects, with 40% of its funding benefiting disadvantaged communities. Covering the Inflation Reduction Act’s roll-out is an opportunity for newsrooms to examine how well these promises are met in practice.

For specifics, Covering Climate Now is bringing together three leading experts: Lori Lodes of Climate Power, Jigar Shah of the US Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, and Peggy Shepard of WE ACT for Environmental Justice.
