2024 is a big year for action on climate justice, sandwiched within a decade where reducing emissions is critical for climate stability. Between the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, we have an unprecedented opportunity this year to leverage federal investment for climate and equity priorities. We believe balancing the urgency of our longer-term goals with action centering the impacts communities are already facing today, is the only way forward.
CCS is leveraging these federal funds for community-centered building performance policy development and implementation. In January, we were excited to kick off work under a $5 million Department of Energy award for Resilient and Efficient Codes Implementation that embodies this balancing act.
