> WHAT: As French President Emmanuel Macron attends U.S. President Joe Biden’s first state dinner at the White House, climate activists will blow the whistle at Macron, urging him to stop giving the “red card” to the U.S. policies needed to support a clean energy transition. Activists in referee outfits will project messages onto a giant movie screen in front of the White House urging Macron to stop threatening to launch a trade dispute against electric vehicle and other renewable energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
> 
> Macron has been among the EU’s most vocal critics of the IRA’s North American content incentives. The IRA’s hundreds of millions of dollars in tax credits will support clean energy jobs and the green economic transition needed to fight climate change. These incentives were an important part of getting the political support needed to pass the landmark climate legislation. With time running out for countries to meet their Paris Climate commitments, activists are urging the Biden administration and Congress to stand strong in implementing the IRA and calling on world leaders to take bold action on climate change without lobbing threats of trade challenges.
