2022 Menino Survey of Mayors: Mayors and the Climate Crisis

The Inflation Reduction Act features hundreds of billions of dollars in commitments to reshaping American energy use and reducing emissions. These commitments include tax credits and rebates for solar panels, electric vehicles, and heat pumps. These federal investments represent new opportunities for local governments and local elected officials who have already been addressing climate change or who wish to do so. The latest Menino Survey unpacks mayors’ current views on local climate action, their sense of the tools they have at their disposal, and their enthusiasm for using them.

The 2022 Menino Survey of Mayors details perspectives shared by a representative sample of 118 mayors leading U.S. cities with populations of more than 75,000 residents.
