The US Clean Energy Landscape Under the Biden Administration

President Biden’s renewed commitment to the Paris Agreement and the leading US role in the recent Leaders Summit on Climate usher in a new era for US policy focused on addressing climate change. Additionally, President Biden’s $2.2 trillion American Jobs Plan aims to reshape the American economy through unprecedented investments in upgrading aging transportation infrastructure, building resilient electric transmission systems, and developing new renewable energy technologies. These significant developments could create extraordinary opportunities for Japanese businesses active in the energy, infrastructure, and transportation industries.

Please join the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation, Mintz, ML Strategies, the Japan-U.S. Business Council, BowerGroupAsia, and a panel of distinguished speakers for a 90-minute webinar that will unpack the many elements of these developments and their impact on US-Japanese businesses.
