The Inflation Reduction Act, the United States' most significant investment in climate and energy, allocated $370 billion in federal resources to address climate and energy issues. Its objectives include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting clean energy, and enhancing climate resilience for the long term. One year into the Act's passage, businesses and organizations have the chance to obtain federal funding for a range of projects, including developing electric vehicle infrastructure, deploying renewable energy sources, producing batteries and clean energy equipment, reducing carbon emissions in manufacturing, and implementing climate adaptation programs. In this webinar, Beveridge & Diamond Principal Eric Christensen (Seattle) will cover the types of programs available, offer practical advice on applying for funding, and explain how companies can leverage these opportunities to advance their climate and sustainability objectives.

The Biden Administration's whole-of-government approach to environmental justice (EJ) has led to a plethora of new regulations, guidance, and considerations for industry coming from numerous federal agencies. There has also been a significant uptick in state legislative and regulatory activity in recent years. While these developments have impacted layers of company operations, permitting has been at the center of the discussion. During this Legal Update, Beveridge & Diamond's EJ Practice Chairs and Principals Stacey Sublett Halliday and Julius Redd (Washington, DC) will underscore practical tips and resources for companies to use to assess their own EJ risks in the permitting process, as well as highlighting common throughlines of new developments at the state and federal level. Mike Auger (Senior Vice President & Chief Business Officer, Ever-Green Energy) will provide an overview of Ever-Green's on-the-ground experience with these evolving EJ requirements and funding opportunities.
