Politics & Policy: Inflation, Trade & Sustainability Outlooks

In the U.S. the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 expands on historic investments from the current Administration with an additional $369 billion to tackle climate change, reduce climate pollution and deliver 40 percent of the overall benefits of climate and clean energy investments to disadvantaged communities. Meanwhile, Maritime sustainability teams are striving to cut down emissions and align with both regulatory requirements (such as those set by the International Maritime Organization) and the 2015 Paris Agreement targets. Governments are keen to relieve disruptions, with the U.S. Administration looking specifically at building resilience through homebuilding and construction, semiconductor, transportation, and agriculture and food industries.
