Join the GCP Climate Scholars as we invite Blair Beasley, Director of Climate Strategies for the Ray C. Anderson Foundation (), to give a presentation on “The Inflation Reduction Act: The Climate Bill That Passed!”

Last year, the U.S. Congress passed an ambitious national climate policy called the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Come learn about the IRA- how we got here, what it does, and what it means for U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. This presentation will take place on Monday, February 6th, 2023, from 12:30-1:30PM via Zoom.

If you would like to attend and learn more about the IRA, follow this Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/99010791424
