Recent legislation, including the IIJA, IRA, CHIPS and Science Acts, and dating back to the Energy Act of 2020, has created the necessary public-private partnerships, funding, and incentives to send the market signals that will accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy. With these laws, the U.S. finally has the financing and policies to lead the world in the development of sustainability technologies and infrastructure.
On this panel, company executives and government officials will discuss the strides they have made under these programs and how we can continue to leverage public- private efforts to increase funding, innovation and deployment of sustainability measures moving forward.
