The Great Deployment: Places that are turning federal climate funding into green infrastructure to benefit underserved communities.

Cities and municipalities across the country face a historic opportunity to leverage hundreds of billions in federal climate funding, much of it earmarked for disadvantaged communities, for community solar, energy retrofits and green infrastructure. Some $27 billion in funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund has begun flowing to local green projects through a network of mission-driven lenders and green banks. But the transition is not guaranteed to be equitable, as many communities of color and small, rural or Tribal governments lack the resources to execute on climate resilience projects. Learn how communities in the Deep South, Midwest and other regions are marshaling know-how, seeding projects, and blending finance to ensure an equitable and resilient climate transition.
