US government approves US$4.3bn in climate grants from Inflation Reduction Act
The distribution of Inflation Reduction Act funds is a win for the EPA after Trump-era policies weakened its ability to act against climate change.
The Biden administration, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has approved US$4.3 billion in grants for carbon reduction projects across the country as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
The 25 selected projects aim to implement initiatives ranging from zero emissions transportation and renewable energy development to energy-efficient buildings, reforestation and waste management. They come from states, cities, tribal governments or coalitions of these.
