2024 Priorities
IRA and IIJA Implementation Recognizing that the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) can bolster clean energy investments in a transformative fashion, Ceres will redouble efforts to advance the robust implementation of these two groundbreaking laws. Ceres will mobilize rapid and effective private and public sector action to maximize investment opportunities and real-world outcomes, particularly in advance of a potential shift to a climate-hostile administration. Expanding Networks In the coming year, Ceres will focus on both expanding and deepening our partnerships with network members. Two central pillars of these efforts will be to recruit new members and to significantly advance private sector accountability through Investor Climate Action Plans (ICAPs) and corporate Climate Transition Action Plans (CTAPs).
Freedom to Invest Almost half of all U.S. states have been developing policies aimed at constraining the freedom of business leaders to assess high-risk financial activities. In 2024, Ceres will continue to build widespread support for Freedom to Invest, an initiative launched in March 2023, to safeguard the ability to consider all financial risks including environmental factors. Ceres will deploy three key strategies: • Expand our coalition building and messaging, • Strengthen the economic case for the freedom to invest, and • Oppose policies and regulations that diminish the freedom to invest.
