Recommendations for a Zero-Carbon Economic Recovery

The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) proposes four specific policy programs for US policymakers to integrate into economic stimulus packages to foster a zero-carbon recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.

• RMI proposes four specific programs to advance a low- or zero-carbon future in the United States: a large-scale building retrofit program called 'Build Back Better Buildings'; investments in electric vehicles and non-automobile transit (pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit) via 'Enhance Access and Electrify Mobility'; a debt relief program for companies that achieve verifiable emissions reductions ('Debt Forgiveness for a Sustainable Recovery'); and the creation of a federal 'Economic Recovery Facility for Financing Low- and Zero-Carbon Activities' to fund clean energy and infrastructure.
