Accelerating Decarbonization in the United States: Technology, Policy, and Societal Dimensions | Transformative Climate Communities

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee on “Accelerating Decarbonization in the United States: Technology, Policy, and Societal Dimensions” has been tasked to assess a broad spectrum of technological, policy, and social dimensions of decarbonizing the U.S. economy. California's Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) present a unique opportunity for California neighborhoods to bring diverse stakeholders together to work collaboratively on a blueprint for capacity-building while identifying Greenhouse Gas mitigation projects that have multiple public, economic, and health co-benefits. This open session seeks to hear from various TCC stakeholders about the program's benefits and the potential for it to be expanded nationwide and implemented with federal funds appropriated by the Inflation Reduction Act.
