Episode 14: Examining the Environmental Justice Impact of Tax Credits with Sylvia Chi

The Inflation Reduction Act’s tax credit opportunities represent a significant aspect of the IRA and account for the majority of the policy’s spending commitments to communities and individuals. In this episode, we speak with Sylvia Chi, Senior Policy Analyst at Just Solutions, about exactly how the tax credits and related programming impact BIPOC-Frontline EJ Communities. Join us as we examine the scale of these tax credits, their impact on the advancement of clean energy, and what environmental justice organizations need to know to leverage tax credits for the benefit of their communities.
