Washington, D.C. — As the Biden administration and Congress pursue ambitious infrastructure investments that can also tackle the climate crisis, a new report from the Center for American Progress urges officials to look to the ocean as they build a clean energy future.
This report proposes agency-by-agency infrastructure and transportation policies to directly improve ocean health and mitigate the impacts of further development on the ocean and coastal environment.
“A comprehensive infrastructure package that fully incorporates ocean climate solutions would advance the administration’s desire to prioritize economic recovery, racial justice, and sustainable growth that achieves net-zero carbon emissions by midcentury,” said
