On Wednesday, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law, legislation that includes sweeping climate and health care provisions. The IRA contains $369 billion in climate and energy-related funding as well as provisions setting a 15% minimum corporate tax rate. Altogether, the law is expected to reduce climate emissions in the U.S. 40 percent by 2050.

“Tech companies have made climate action a priority, and the Inflation Reduction Act tax provisions will help fund a historic victory in our fight against climate change,” said Chamber of Progress CEO Adam Kovacevich. “Additionally, the investments this bill makes in electric vehicles and climate-friendly projects like sustainable jet fuels are important for tech companies working to achieve zero emissions. Today’s bill signing is a win for the planet and a win for tech.”
