Community Decarbonization: Beyond Lip Service
The federal government has prioritized community engagement and partnership as an essential part of Justice40, and many IRA funding opportunities highlight centering communities in the development and implementation of programs. What does authentic, inclusive, and meaningful community engagement look like? We’ll examine equitable community empowerment and highlight tools like the community engagement spectrum and resources from EPA, DOE, and others. These case studies will highlight successes – and missteps – in engaging with communities beyond “checking the box” and help states, communities, and their partners to develop energy plans, decarbonization strategies, and program proposals.
