In an interview with Paul Jay, PERI's Robert Pollin breaks down the Inflation Reduction Act and its potential impact on climate change. He argues that although it is a step in the right direction, it does not phase out fossil-fuel use and only accounts for about 10 percent of what is needed to hit the 2030 reduction target.

For a detailed look at the Inflation Reduction Act investments, read "Job Creation Estimates Through Proposed Inflation Reduction Act," by Robert Pollin, Chirag Lala and Shouvik Chakraborty.
