Recommendations for the Maryland Commission on Climate Change Annual Report

Posted on by Ayesha Amsa

We offer the following recommendations for various sectors believing that they can help
Maryland close the emissions gap between the 2030 GGRA set in 2017 (40% by 2030) and the new Climate
Solutions Now Act goal (60% by 2031). The Federal Infrastructure and Inflation Reduction Acts provide
unprecedented levels of federal funds to accomplish many of these goals. Maryland agencies and local
governments should take maximum advantage of these funding opportunities.

The state should prioritize the
communities heavily impacted by transportation pollution and historically excluded from
transportation decision making and infrastructure resources, including communities of color,
low-wealth communities, rural communities, and people with disabilities, in the development and
implementation of these policies.
