Thank you, @weact4ej, for today’s walking tour of West Harlem. It was great to hear about your work to deploy air monitors, address diesel pollution, and reduce environmental harms—all of which @POTUS’s Inflation Reduction Act makes historic investments to deliver on.
.@brendamallory46, Chair of the @whceq, kicks off our Accountability in Action panel with @abarranco of @ClimateGroup. She says: “Justice 40 is an ongoing effort, a mindset change for us to be successful"
Once the Inflation Reduction Act is signed into law, it will:
- Cut consumer energy costs
- Boost manufacturing and good-paying jobs
- Reduce pollution to tackle the climate crisis
- Advance environmental justice
- Create opportunities in rural communities
This week, we announced we are seeking public input on the Environmental Justice Scorecard, a first-of-its-kind tool that will assess progress Federal agencies are making to advance environmental justice, including through the #Justice40 Initiative.

Thrilled to see the first installment of #Justice40 covered programs rolled out by @WhiteHouse! This is an excellent step forward in bringing @EPA, @HHSGov, @Interior, and @USDA closer to delivering investments to overburdened communities nationwide. https://t.co/mj3Nfn90s3
Today in Lisbon I had the unique opportunity to hear from global innovators about their clean water and ocean-related startup solutions at the #UNOceanConference’s @GISTNetwork Pitch Showcase for Innovative Water Solutions. 🌊 #UNOC2022
We have an obligation to advance environmental justice and ensure that no community is left behind. From climate adaptation to clean energy to legacy pollution clean-up, @Interior is committed to creating meaningful partnerships with all communities to tackle the climate crisis.
.@USDA is proud of the programs we’ve created that support Justice40, the Biden Administration’s initiative to advance environmental justice while benefitting historically marginalized and underserved communities. https://t.co/IrH7gxGp9Q
EPA is committed to @POTUS’s goal to deliver 40% of federal investments to those that need it most.
We’ve released our initial list of 72 programs covered under the #Justice40 initiative. ⬇️ #EnvironmentalJustice

President Biden and I believe that we must do all we can to protect and conserve our wildlife for generations to come. Congrats to the House for taking much needed bipartisan action to pass a bold vision for funding wildlife conservation.
Yesterday, I visited @KenaiFjordsNPS in Alaska. We climbed aboard a @NOAA vessel to check out the incredible coastline and see the rich fjord estuary ecosystem, teaming with wildlife! 🚢
Happy #WorldOceanDay! Thank you @POTUS@WhiteHouse for new steps to conserve & restore the health and productivity of the ocean for the benefit of all Americans. The health of the ocean impacts everyone in the United States & beyond. @WHCEQ @Interior (1/3) https://t.co/xBRkvPYiHE
"I describe #EnvironmentalJustice as our unfinished business from our first 50 years [of ocean and coastal conservation in the U.S]," says @BrendaMallory46 @WHCEQ
“You have to look everywhere, you have to include everyone, and you have to bring together all the expertise in order to tackle the climate crisis.”

On #WorldOceanDay 🌊 today, @SecDebHaaland issued a new order to phase out single-use plastic products on @Interior-managed lands by 2032. The Order also directs the Department to identify environmentally preferable alternatives to single-use plastics. https://t.co/D1MZcshuoz
