Highlighting unprecedented federal funding for climate change

About2024-01-24T13:32:38-05:00

The Climate Program Portal pulls together crucial summary data, news, requests and updates related to the climate elements in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This Portal was developed by Atlas Public Policy with input from diverse stakeholders. With all this data in one place, users can prepare for and respond to key funding and developments.

The Portal draws on the text of the laws as well as key supporting material and resources such as agency websites and fact sheets. The Portal relies on inputs from partner organizations in order to capture the complexity and diversity of developments that are to come from the implementation of the laws.

The Climate Program Portal is in public beta meaning content and layout is expected to change. It also means we are interested in your feedback, so please drop us a line and let us know how we can improve the Portal!
