The Inflation Reduction Act Was Years in the Making, and Will Power Our Economy for Years To Come

2022年9月13日，3BL媒体 / -Ceres President and CEO Mindy Lubber参加了今天的白宫仪式，以庆祝2022年的《降低通货膨胀法》，这是打击气候变化和意识到清洁能源经济在美国历史上的好处的最大投资。Over the last year, Ceres mobilized hundreds of companies and investors in support of the package, which is expected to achieve a 40% or greater reduction in U.S. climate pollution by 2030, grow the nation’s clean energy economy through substantial incentives for companies and consumers, and invest in key environmental justice initiatives to bring the benefits of climate action to rural, disadvantaged, and energy communities across the country.

Lubber, who attended the ceremony with other Ceres staff members and private sector partners, issued the following statement following today’s ceremony:

“The Inflation Reduction Act is the legislation our planet and our economy have needed for decades, and a cause for celebration for those of us who have fought long and hard for this historic federal climate investment. While this package is tailored to the unique geopolitical and economic circumstances of the moment, its impact will extend far beyond, powering our economy for years to come and benefiting anybody who calls our planet home now and in the future.

“在30多年的时间里，Ceres表明，从长远来看，可持续性是建立经济的唯一途径。金博宝怎么注册我们多年的工作组织企业作为倡导有意义的气候政策的倡导者，有助于使数百家领先的公司和投资者不懈地倡导为气候，清洁能源和环境正义投资投资降低通货膨胀法案。这个包裹对我们气候的好处是巨大的，但它对我们的经济的承诺也是如此。它将提高美国的增长和竞争力，为家庭和企业产生成本节省，建立新的美国制造能力和供应链，并用清洁，国内和负担得起的资源来增强我们的国家能源安全。我们特别高兴地看到这项交易中的几项措施旨在通过支持长期过于负担过于污染或在我们经济中落后的社区来解决环境正义。

“减少通货膨胀法案标志着与气候危机的斗争中的巨大步骤。但是，为了实现我们国家的2030年目标，并完成到2050年的公正和包容性净零经济的过渡，还有更多的工作。至关重要的是，这项交易将使公共和私营部门的所有演员更容易采取他们现在必须采取的行动。公司，投资者，州和联邦立法者和监管机构以及我们经济中的所有其他利益相关者都必须充分利用此计划，以其为基础，并按照自己的雄心勃勃的计划采取行动，以确保满足这些重要目标。在接下来的几年中，Ceres承诺继续与所有人合作，包括通过我们的进取政策计划和我们的Ambition 2030倡议，以加速最具挑战性的行业的排放减少。

“But this is a day for celebration. We thank President Biden, Leader Schumer, and Speaker Pelosi for their leadership, as well as Sen. Manchin and the many lawmakers who championed these measures for months and those who negotiated this landmark deal. We are also proud of the many businesses and investors who called for this package for more than a year, and without whose support the Inflation Reduction Act would not have passed. Their advocacy demonstrated what we have always known: that robust climate, clean energy, and environmental justice policy is critical to a well-functioning economy.”

Ceres has long worked with companies and investors to support bold climate policies that accelerate the shift to a clean energy economy, because these policies are essential to limiting climate-related economic risk and creating the considerable business opportunities in addressing this challenge.

在去年总统拜登（Biden）建立了一个目标，以减少到2030年至少50％的气候污染之后，数百家公司和投资者敦促国会通过重大的气候立法，成功地提倡包括大量清洁运输，清洁能源，气候抵抗力和环境环境和环境。两党基础设施​​投资和2021年的《两党基础设施​​投资和就业法》的司法措施。随后，来自美国经济的公司继续呼吁联邦立法者在预算协议中通过更雄心勃勃的气候立法，最终成为《降低通货膨胀法》。
