The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which passed in the U.S. Senate over the weekend and must still pass in the House, is the largest climate legislation in U.S. History.
It is projected to drive down greenhouse gas emissions by 40%
by 2030. It also includes many avenues of support for green building, including:
- funding for building energy code adoption,
- significant expansion of Section 179D tax deduction for commercial building energy efficiency,
- expanded tax incentives for home energy efficiency improvements,
- funding to improve efficiency in affordable housing, and
- funding for environmental and climate justice block grants.
While this is historic climate legislation, we know there is more work to do before we see climate justice realized.

We recognize that we are a predominately white organization – our staff, our leadership, and our membership. As an organization, we recognize that we have unintentionally contributed to the status quo of injustice and systems that are racist. We know that environmental degradation and climate change disproportionately affect communities of color. We are working to do our part to address and breakdown systemic and institutional racism while understanding our own implicit biases. Learn more about our Equity and Inclusion Initiatives.
