Federal rollbacks are reshaping the future of sustainability and resilience. From cancellations of major FEMA hazard resilience grant programs, to repeals of climate provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act, to new tariffs driving up the cost of clean energy, the federal government is pulling back just as the need to act grows more urgent. The ball is now in the court of state and local governments to fill the gap.
This progam will explore how SPUR and partners are responding to the shifting federal landscape, what new policies and coalitions are emerging at the state and regional level, and what role we can all play in pushing forward climate action, disaster resilience, and equity when Washington turns its back. Join us to chart the path ahead.
