Summary/Abstract
This report outlines 35 recommendations for developers and host communities when negotiating and drafting Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) for direct air capture hubs and other clean energy projects. These recommendations come from interviews with attorneys and other experts who have collectively negotiated dozens of CBAs for climate infrastructure and other types of projects. The report is divided into three parts: (A) best practices for developers; (B) best practices for host communities; and (C) best practices for drafting CBAs and key terms for inclusion.
