IRA

[Debra Javeline]

Have there been any thoughtful analyses of the climate dimensions of the Inflation Reduction Act (its potential, what implementation might look like, obstacles to implementation, omissions/deficiencies, etc.), something that could be assigned to undergrads?  Or is it just too soon?

Building my syllabus in late August, I assigned: 

Evergreen Action, “The Climate Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act,” Memo, August 9, 2022. Available at https://www.evergreenaction.com/documents/The-Climate-Impact-of-the-IRA.pdf

We're reading that in early November, so it has not yet been class-tested. I also assigned these pieces on contemporary policy/politics: 

Bomberg, Elizabeth, “Joe Biden’s Climate Change Challenge,” Political Insight, April 2022, 30-33. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/20419058221091636  

Liptak, Adam, “Supreme Court Limits E.P.A.’s Ability to Restrict Power Plant Emissions,” New York Times, June 30, 2022. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/06/30/us/supreme-court-epa

Good luck! I'm eager to read about better pieces that are surely out there by now.

At the think tank Climate and Community project, we wrote a very comprehensive memo on the IRA's climate and energy provisions.

I also did a piece for the Conversation that focused on the carbon capture and sequestration/carbon dioxide removal provisions of the legislation: https://theconversation.com/biden-signs-inflation-reduction-act-its-climate-promise-relies-heavily-on-carbon-capture-meaning-thousands-of-miles-of-pipeline-188591

Folks:

Robinson Meyer's weekly planet report as part of the Atlantic's coverage of climate had an interesting short piece that should appeal to students ... https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2022/10/inflation-reduction-act-climate-economy/671659/

And Doug Parson did a podcast, talking to Jesse Keenan about the IRA's adaptation provisions. I think that is a very good resource as well.

The Inflation Reduction Act Does Adapt to Climate Change w. Dr. Jesse Keenan – Bonus: U.S. House Select Committee on Climate Crisis Shares What’s Next

View this email in your browser Hey Adapters !     Welcome back to the America Adapts newsletter, our community for those involved in the climate adaptation space (and those curious to learn more!).   In episode 171, Dr. Jesse Keenan of Tulane University returns to discuss the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act and how adaptation and resilience are built into the legislation. We discuss the misleading adaptation coverage in the media and why the Act represents a significant investment in climate resilience. Jesse takes a deep dive and explains how adaptation is built into tax policies, clean energy credits, community investment and much more in the legislation. Joining the podcast in a bonus interview is Samantha Medlock, the Senior Counsel for the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis where she explains what’s next for adaptation legislation in the U.S. Congress. Upcoming episodes:  Next up, Judge Alice Hill returns! Frequent guest Alice - the David M. Rubenstein senior fellow for energy and the environment at the Council on Foreign Relations  - shares her thoughts on world events, ranging from the flooding in Pakistan to Hurricane Fiona and Puerto Rico. We also dig into the recent GAO Climate resilience report and the challenges for the federal government to ramp up their adaptation efforts. I'm partnering with World Wildlife Fund to highlight how mangrove forests are a key tool for coastal adaptation. I'll be interviewing experts at the 2nd Mangrove Congress of America in Merida, Yucatan - Mexico and highlight nature based approaches to adaptation. (Hello diving in a cenote!) Also, Dr. Carolyn Kousky returns, in her new role as the Associate Vice President for Economics and Policy at Environmental Defense Fund. We talk about her new book,  Understanding Disaster Insurance: New Tools for a More Resilient Future Subscribe to the Newsletter Here!   Inflation Reduction Act Resources   Inflation Reduction Act   Clean Energy For All   Rewiring America   Build.gov   Climate Mapping for Resilience and Adaptation Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference America Adapts is partnering with Battelle, leading up to their Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference in Columbus, Ohio, March 28-30th!
