2022年8月16日，媒体 / - CERES政府事务副总裁安妮·凯利（Anne Kelly）发表了以下声明，拜登总统签署了2022年的《降低通货膨胀法》：

“Thanks to the leadership of President Biden, Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, the many lawmakers who have long supported ambitious climate action, and those that negotiated in good faith to strike this landmark deal, American businesses and households are finally positioned to effectively fight the climate crisis.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is the bold climate legislation that leading companies and investors have long supported, which is why so many pressed so hard to secure this package over the last 18 months. Companies and investors know the new law is going to dramatically bolster the U.S. clean energy industry to ensure our nation competes in the global economy of the future, while bringing jobs, cost savings, energy security, public health benefits, and flourishing new industries to communities across the country. By lowering emissions, it will reduce the vast risk of economic damage and human harm from the climate crisis. And by investing in the communities that have too often been marginalized or left behind, it will ensure the transition to a cleaner economy benefits all.

“当我们庆祝美国历史上最大的气候投资时，我们必须认识到这是一个起点。工作还没有结束。现在，公共和私营部门（包括公司，投资者，州和联邦立法者和监管机构）的各个层面的人的责任是确保我们不仅利用这一重要方案，而且还基于它以实现我们的国家气候和环境正义目标。然而，这就是为什么我们今天庆祝的原因：《降低通货膨胀法》使我们对公正，清洁能源经济的看法更加可实现。”

长期以来，Ceres一直与公司和投资者合作，以支持大胆的气候政策加速向清洁能源经济转移，并认识到它们对于限制与气候相关的经济风险至关重要，并创造了在解决气候危机时的大量商机。
