The Inflation Reduction Act provides opportunities to help child– and family–
serving programs and institutions make their facilities more efficient, transition to clean energy, and electrify transportation systems. These efforts can help reduce their carbon footprints, save money on annual operation cost, and create healthier environments where children thrive.
This resource, developed in partnership with Early Years Climate Action (an initiative of Capita and This is Planet Ed at the Aspen Institute) and Start Early, outlines how the IRA will advance federal policies and programs to support mitigation, adaptation, and resilience within the early years ecosystem. It provides a short description of relevant tax credits, financing mechanisms, and highlights the lead agency, eligible beneficiaries, and the potential benefits to children and families.
