Congress just took the biggest #ClimateAction in U.S. history, passing the Inflation Reduction Act. It will help reduce emissions by 40% from 2005 levels, averting the worst impacts of the climate crisis while investing in communities and creating clean energy jobs.
This bill will not solve the climate crisis, but it is a major step forward as we continue the important work ahead of us. We must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and advance justice in order to address the environmental inequities that communities of color and low-income communities continue to face.
Keep up with @NRDC_Action’s continuous push on elected officials to pass laws that meet community and climate needs.
