National Call & Action Party

January 28

4th Tuesday of the Month

7PM (Eastern) | 4PM (Pacific)

8-8:15PM Action Party

There are understandable concerns for the future of the environment in general, and climate in particular. While it may be too early to know exactly how valid these concerns are, there are meaningful reasons to retain hope. That is an important message for January’s national call. Since it was passed the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) clean energy and cleantech provisions are boosting the economies of mostly Republican-led states, according to a Cipher analysis of Clean Investment Monitor data. Ideally, climate change should be a priority, but practically voters and the general public give priority to economic considerations. Protecting the IRA accomplishes both economic and environmental objectives. Please join us to learn more. A climate and energy journalist with Cipher, Amena will provide you with news and the latest data analysis covering the technological innovations needed to combat climate change and transform our global energy systems.
