Description
In recent years, the US federal government has taken important climate action by setting an emissions reduction target and introducing new climate programs and financial support. One landmark policy that is critical for the US to reach its climate goals is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which is the largest investment in reducing GHG emissions in the country’s history and the most comprehensive federal climate legislation to be signed into law. In this episode, we’ll hear from Kristina Wyatt, Deputy General Counsel and Chief Sustainability Officer at Persefoni, about what has been implemented under the IRA to date and the impact it can have.
