Policymakers are Powering Up for Climate Action

With the recent passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), we have a historic opportunity to speed up the just transition to clean energy, create millions of good jobs, and build healthy, thriving communities across the US. 

But passage was just the first step.

These new climate laws offer cities and states a wide range of grants and other incentives to embrace clean energy, ready communities for climate change, and more.

Navigating the ins and outs of federal legislation, funding opportunities, and requirements can be daunting, however – even for policymakers and agencies with years of experience with federal programs.

That's why this April, Climate Reality is offering Power Up: From Acts to Action, a free online training lead by former Vice President Al Gore, federal officials, and experts across sectors designed to take the guesswork out of new climate laws and help you take full advantage of funding on offer to:

• Use tax law changes to transfer clean energy tax credits for cash.
• Create green banks and new business opportunities in your city or state.
• Expand clean energy programs serving disadvantaged communities.
• Build highly skilled workforces ready for the clean energy economy.
• Help residents electrify their homes and save money with rebates and other incentives.
• Mitigate drought and help local communities increase their resiliency to climate impacts.

And all that is just for starters.

Power Up: From Acts to Action is free to attend with a flexible schedule designed for busy professionals.

Join us to learn what it takes to get the funding you need, manage reporting requirements, and use these new laws to make life better for families and neighborhoods in your state.

Online training content is available on-demand from April 6-20, with two required broadcasts on April 11 and 13. Completing the training also enables you to join the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, a global community of over 45,000 advocates working to stop rising temperatures and build a just future of opportunity for us all.
