Health Impacts of Federal Climate Investments

Health Impacts of Federal Climate Investments 

Date/Time: Wednesday, January 22 at 3PM ET | Virtual (Zoom)

Description: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) together represent the largest investment in climate resilience in the nation’s history and are providing much-needed resources to communities across the country. The IRA alone delivers nearly $400 billion in federal investments to rapidly accelerate the transition toward zero-emission vehicles, reduce climate pollution and carbon emissions, improve air quality, and strengthen communities. These historic investments present an opportunity to make lasting, positive health outcomes for all Americans. Join the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments on January 22nd at 3 pm ET for a virtual event featuring speakers providing an overview of how climate investments improve health outcomes, examples of local benefits to communities, and opportunities for nurses to promote implementation at a state and local level.

• Robbie Orvis, Senior Director, Modeling and Analysis, Energy Innovation 
• Stefen Samarripas, Senior Local Policy Manager, ACEEE
