“Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment. Treasury's Climate Hub was created to leverage the Department's finance and financial mitigation efforts to confront the growing threat of climate change. In just over 2 years, the hub has been instrumental in the implementation of the tremendously successful Inflation Reduction Act.
