Recommendations for a Zero-Carbon Economic Recovery

RMI proposes four strategic programs to guide US economic recovery toward a zero-carbon future: a large-scale building retrofit program, investments in electrified and sustainable mobility, debt forgiveness tied to emissions reductions, and the creation of a federal facility to finance clean energy and infrastructure.

• RMI proposes four specific programs to jumpstart the US economy while advancing a low- or zero-carbon future: 'Build Back Better Buildings' for residential and commercial retrofits, 'Enhance Access and Electrify Mobility' to prioritize public transit, pedestrians, and cyclists and support electric vehicles, 'Debt Forgiveness for a Sustainable Recovery' to link debt relief to verifiable emissions reductions, and an 'Economic Recovery Facility for Financing Low- and Zero-Carbon Activities' to facilitate clean energy and infrastructure financing.
