This partnership is especially significant in light of the recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG). The IRA, which allocates significant funds for climate planning and projects, opens up new possibilities for cities to adopt more impactful climate strategies in the U.S.
“With the Inflation Reduction Act shaping a new era in the U.S., we are excited to align our climate expertise with ClimateView’s cutting-edge technological innovation. This partnership is a timely response to the current needs for urban transitions, harnessing the momentum created by the U.S. EPA’s CPRG funding to drive impactful climate investments in cities, states, and regions.”
– Vicky Keramida, Ph.D., CEO of KERAMIDA
“We are in a critical momentum for public-private investments across the U.S., fueled by the Inflation Reduction Act. Today, U.S. cities, states, and regions are not just navigating new legislation; they’re building a precedent for comprehensive, data-backed climate and investment strategies. This partnership with KERAMIDA comes at a critical time.”
– Einar Bodström, CEO of ClimateView
ClimateView’s platform provides comprehensive models that reflect science-based mitigation and adaptation strategies, political shifts, economic changes, and evolving energy landscapes. These models visually demonstrate how each strategy will impact the desired outcome by a specific city, state, or region. ClimateView and KERAMIDA’s joint approach can assist U.S. cities, regions, and states in leveraging these new opportunities, aligning their climate actions with the desired outcomes of the IRA. Their combined expertise can support cities, states, and regions in implementing efficient, equitable, and sustainable climate initiatives, ensuring a comprehensive approach to urban climate challenges.
