Impactful Policy Frameworks
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) 2021
This bipartisan infrastructure law allocates significant funding towards water infrastructure, environmental remediation, and resilience projects across the United States.
The IIJA creates substantial funding opportunities for water management and environmental monitoring projects, directly increasing the market for Upstream Tech's HydroForecast and Lens solutions among government agencies and utilities.
SEC Climate-Related Disclosure Rule (Proposed 2022)
The SEC has proposed rules that would require public companies to disclose extensive climate-related information, including greenhouse gas emissions, climate-related risks, and governance.
This proposed rule drives demand for accurate environmental data and reporting tools, positioning Upstream Tech's solutions, especially Lens for carbon projects and land changes, as essential for corporate ESG compliance and transparency.
Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Regulations (Updated 2022)
The CEQ finalized revisions to NEPA regulations, reinstating requirements for federal agencies to consider direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects of proposed actions.
These NEPA updates necessitate more rigorous and comprehensive environmental impact assessments, increasing the need for data-driven monitoring and analysis tools like Lens for government agencies and contractors involved in federal projects.
