CLEE is pleased to announce the release of a new set of resources to support Equitable Climate Infrastructure Investment. These reports are part of a new area of focus at CLEE to develop tools, analysis, and resources to realize environmental, economic, and equity benefits from climate infrastructure projects. Leveraging work underway through CLEE’s EV Equity Initiative; CALDAC, a DOE-funded direct air capture feasibility study; offshore wind research, stakeholder education, and outreach; and other climate infrastructure research projects, we are developing a policy and action agenda to ensure that climate infrastructure investments deliver environmental benefits and achieve equity and economic justice goals. With the launch this series, we are releasing two new reports that explore tools and approaches to support equitable climate change infrastructure investment: Community Benefits Tools and California Clean Energy Projects presents an overview of select policy drivers and community benefits mechanisms that can support an equitable climate transition, catalyze tangible and meaningful, long-term investments in community priorities, and achieve effective, durable projects, while also outlining concrete examples of successful Community Benefits Agreements, often considered the “gold standard” among community benefits tools. Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/g8uKczJD Facilitating Equity-Oriented EV Infrastructure Investments: Strategies for Project Design presents three strategies for local governments and community stakeholders seeking to design equity-oriented EV infrastructure investments. As the agenda-setting entities responsible for the details of clean mobility planning, local governments will play a key role in ensuring the development of an equitable mobility transition, and should integrate the strategies detailed in the paper in their long-term infrastructure plans.
