Report, The Climate Case for a National Investment Authority

This August 2020 Data for Progress report discusses the creation of a National Investment Authority (NIA): a public entity that would design, execute, and finance a comprehensive nationwide program of environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive growth and revival. Drawing on the experience of the New Deal era’s Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), the NIA offers a novel institutional solution to multiple organizational, financial, and operational challenges associated with an ambitious national project to combat climate change.
