Audience: Policymakers

We are excited to share the second monthly report from the IRA Data & Insights Hub*, your one-stop shop for Inflation Reduction Act communications guidance. The Hub synthesizes data and research from many of you to deliver actionable insights on IRA advocacy, and is a project of the Climate Advocacy Lab, in partnership with impact agency 89up.

In this session we'll review what the Hub is, dive into the data, break out into peer learning groups, and talk about our Name Generator.

Severe thunderstorms hit my hometown of Durham, NC last week, bringing 80 mph winds and flash flooding across our community. Around half the county was without power for more than 24 hours– presenting serious health risks for our most vulnerable neighbors, as temperatures (and humidity levels) climbed into the mid-90s. 
96% of people in the United States have faced extreme weather risks this summer (from flooding, storms, heat, or fire) according to the new “Danger Season” tool from the Union of Concerned Scientists that tracks county-level alerts.
