America Is All In’s Post

Gina's conviction is awe inspiring. She's a talented leader, and dynamic speaker with that unique knack of being able to get the larger point across to broader audiences. I'm a #GinaMcCarthy super-fan. To her point, the IRA is chock-full of incentives for clean energy business. In fact, $207 bn of the $369 bn IRA warchest is earmarked for clean energy supply. The BH White House described it as the largest single investment in rural electrification since the New Deal. USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack explained, “This is shaping up to be a once in a generation opportunity for the solar industry.” Up here in the northeast, following the $389 mm in federal funds for offshore wind near New Bedford, just yesterday Salem, MA kicked off their efforts to develop the state’s second dedicated wind port. It's become clear that capacity building is going to be big business with all of this climate action. And it's only just begun. Home owners, drivers, businesses, and community leaders can all reap the benefits of #IRA resources coming online for a clean energy transition. These investments in clean energy systems have already resulted in more quality local jobs, additional reliable energy supply, cleaner air, greater energy security from risks foreign to the hyperlocal of storm outages. This at a significant operational cost savings and an ROI that's getting to terms of months vs. decades. It's a win across the board. So are the success stories. Gina is heading-up America Is All In. They've been creating and sharing engaging content pieces about some of the wins for real people and businesses in diverse communities across America, and how they've benefited from #IRA investments into greater climate action. And, it has only just begun! Check it out... https://lnkd.in/eaC7b_mN

How does climate action feature in the new UK government’s plans? 🔎 The King’s Speech demonstrates a policy agenda that could get the country moving towards decarbonisation, with a green dimension apparent across various policies, covering everything from institution building to planning reform and devolution. But is there enough investment and ambition? Rapid decarbonisation is needed to meet emissions goals and there is widespread public demand for the government to deliver this from right across the political spectrum.

It’s a quiet climate success story 👀 Over 40 countries and public finance institutions have cut their international public finance to fossil fuels by two-thirds over the past three years. What's next: https://lnkd.in/eCprdBGv

Thank you Robert Eccles Stephen Porder for this piece. Let’s focus on integrating climate risk into investment models to build resilient funds for state workers dignified retirement. That means all states. That means collaborating with peers that have different perspectives. That means restoring faith in good governance. #climatefinance #climatefinanceaction This: We are going to need everyone around the table to tackle this defining challenge of our century (and perhaps of all centuries so far in human history). It does not help to proclaim “it’s all your fault.” It does not help to shoot down any proposed solution advocated by your political opponents.

🌍 It’s Demilitarisation Day during the Global Week of Action for Climate Finance and a Fossil Free Future!    Today, we emphasise the urgent need to shift our resources:  🔹 Divert military spending into climate finance  🔹 Divest from war and invest in climate justice  🔹 End the military-oil relationship    Militarism and the climate crisis are interconnected issues that must be addressed by the UNFCCC. Let’s call for real change!    #DivestFromWar #ClimateJustice #DivertMilitarySpending #PayUp #ClimateFinance

The Inflation Reduction Act turns two: Here's what to know about the largest federal investment in combating the climate crisis in U.S. history. Our coverage when it was passed: https://lnkd.in/gHFx5J7s

There is plenty of money available to tackle global climate change and other planetary emergencies. Distributive justice must be at the heart of finance for equity and sustainability. Governments must stop evading this issue and act now. https://bit.ly/3ZYXI9X

Two years of historic investments, and more to come! Besides creating jobs and investing in the health of our communities and planet, IRA has set a new precedent around climate. We know that there is more to be done, we need to defend and support new/existing funding for the environment! #climatewinshere
