To tout and celebrate the funding from the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and to discuss local implementation in Michigan, Change the Chamber hosted an educational webinar in partnership with the Climate Action Campaign. We presented how the IRA has benefitted Michigan particularly, with state-specific information about investments and projects made possible through IRA and IIJA funding and regulations. We also discussed present and upcoming opportunities to continue the progress these bills have created, focusing on achieving the science-based climate target of 50% greenhouse gas emissions reductions by 2030 and improved environmental justice.
Thank you to our excellent speakers, Aaron Petykowski (Climate Action Campaign), Dionna Brown (Black Millennials for Flint), and John Freeman (Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association), for their valuable presentations and discussions. We would also like to thank our wonderful moderator, Will Felix (Change the Chamber). This event greatly benefitted from all of your contributions and your crucial work and experiences.
