This webinar will explore considerations and actions U.S. local governments can take to advance their decarbonization goals and shape a more equitable energy future for their communities.

Attendees will hear from representatives of the Department of Energy, Bloomberg Philanthropies and WRI about the unprecedented opportunity the Inflation Reduction Act offers for local governments to reap community benefits from the clean energy transition.

The webinar will introduce a new Roadmap resource for local governments to maximize IRA incentives for clean energy projects and bring economic, health and social benefits to their communities. WRI experts will explain the revised clean energy tax credits and walk through roles that local governments can play and strategies they can employ to accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies broadly. A panel discussion with practitioner perspectives from the field and a Q&A session will follow.
