The US government has tools to mobilize the private sector to compete with China’s infrastructure investment in the developing world. @DukeU expert @ElizabethLosos talked with @VOANews about how the US can step up. voanews.com/a/us-boosts-fund….

US Boosts Funds for Infrastructure Program for Developing Nations Above $30 Billion

White House tells VOA the latest commitments of US public and private funds in September have moved the US a bit closer to its $200 billion target for G7-led infrastructure program

Thank you to our partners @Pewtrusts and @NichInstitute’s Resilience Roadmap for hosting our climate resilience metrics convening ! We had fantastic discussion on applying metrics to our work on making a more climate-ready Federal Government.

[THREAD] Keep your 👀 on the #InflationReductionAct, which could pass the #USSenate as early as Saturday. If it does, the bill establishes the largest-ever investment in fighting #ClimateChange and accelerates a transition to #CleanEnergy technologies. #NorthCarolina #ncpol

The @WhiteHouse announced more than $1b in infrastructure to improve climate resilience. @ElizabethLosos of @NichInstitute says Monday's commitment is a "critical down payment" on climate impacts communities are already seeing. #journorequest duke.is/venqy

📝 The Biden administration has made an historic commitment to #ClimateResilience, but it still doesn't meet the scale of the problem. A new @NichInstitute policy brief takes stock of progress to date while recommending areas for further action. 🔗 bit.ly/july22brief
Text: How can the U.S. government accelerate efforts to build climate resilience? 1. Communicate risk-based investment decision-making. 2. Bolster federal-to-local capacity and coordination. 3. Modernize federal spending standards and guidance. Read the policy brief: bit.ly/july22brief. Cracked earth in background. Logos for Nicholas Institute and Resilience Roadmap.

For #infrastructure partnership to be successful, @G7 must set widely trusted global #sustainability standards, @trfetter and I write in a commentary at @thehill. thehill.com/opinion/internat…

Setting higher standards for the G-7 infrastructure (re)launch

G-7 nations are poised to launch a major global infrastructure partnership.

I want to be clear – the G7's announcement of a new global infrastructure partnership isn't aid or charity. It’s an investment that will deliver returns for everyone – including the American people – and boost all of our economies.
