The Biden administration is plugging away at a goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
For FEMA’s part, covering the cost of net-zero energy projects is “the single most effective measure” the agency can take to cut greenhouse gas emissions and address the climate crisis, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said in a statement.
Already, FEMA helps communities pay for low-carbon construction materials when rebuilding, a change that the agency made in March 2023.
