David is the Senior Strategic Director in their Climate & Clean Energy Program. You can read more about his work here: https://www.nrdc.org/bio/david-doniger
David has been at the forefront of the battle against air pollution and global climate change since he joined NRDC in 1978. He helped formulate the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement designed to stop the depletion of the earth’s ozone layer, as well as several essential amendments to the Clean Air Act. In 1993, he left NRDC to serve on the White House Council on Environmental Quality, followed by key posts at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He rejoined NRDC in 2001 and has since been working to defend the Clean Air Act from assaults in Congress. He is based in Washington, D.C., but spends some time in Ely during the summer.
August 16th 2023 (one day after our meeting) is the one year anniversary of Biden signing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law. The IRA is the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history, enabling America to tackle the climate crisis, advancing environmental justice, securing America’s position as a world leader in domestic clean energy manufacturing, and putting the United States on a pathway to achieving the Biden Administration’s climate goals, including a net-zero economy by 2050.
David will give us his perspective on the status of the IRA at the one year mark. What has been achieved so far, and what we can expect in the future.
