Ambitious climate policy is critical to achieving our goals of limiting average global temperature rise and reaching a zero emissions economy. During Ceres Global, we’ll examine how bold and innovative policy solutions at the state and federal levels can help to create a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future. Join top White House climate officials John Podesta and Ali Zaidi
to hear their perspectives on the importance of advancing policy solutions and how states and business leaders can take advantage of the enormous benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest federal investment in climate action in U.S. history.

Keynote: Policy Matters: Corporate and Investor Action to Win the Win
with John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation
The Inflation Reduction Act has the potential to catalyze unprecedented investments in a decarbonized economy—creating millions of good-paying jobs, reducing energy costs, strengthening U.S. competitiveness, and closing opportunity gaps for disadvantaged communities. Corporate and investor policy engagement remains critical to fully realize its potential and advance more action across the U.S. to reach our goal of cutting emissions half by 2030. Explore how this new law is a huge win for states and business leaders. |

Environmental and Climate Justice in the New Decarbonized Economy
with Amir Kirkwood, President & CEO, Virginia Community Capital, Jacqui Patterson, Founder and Executive Director, The Chisholm Legacy Project, and Emira Woods, Executive Director, Green Leadership Trust
Justice40 commitments, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the new global climate mitigation fund herald a monumental reshaping of the national and global economy. They are a recognition that historically marginalized communities are agents of economic change, not just the beneficiaries of much-needed reparative efforts. Examine how historically marginalized communities can move from being the subject of reparative efforts to active participants—entrepreneurs and thought leaders, as well as workers—in the new decarbonized economy. |
Maximizing the Benefits of Federal and State Climate Investments
with Zach Pierce, Climate Change Policy, North Carolina, Abby Campbell Singer, Head of Climate and Infrastructure Policy, Siemens, and Aimee Witteman, Senior Fellow, Energy Foundation, Moderator
Companies and investors have helped to push federal climate policies over the finish line. They must now engage at the state level to ensure these monumental federal climate policies support the communities their businesses serve and rely on. The Inflation Reduction Act was a big win, but the work is not done yet.
