Climate & Environmental Justice // Views expressed here are my own.

[Equitable & Just National Climate Platform (EJNCP) @a_justclimate]

Communities facing environmental & climate harms deserve not only a seat at the federal decision-making table, but a full understanding of the resources available for solutions. The @WhiteHouse #EJStrong campaign is a critical step toward clarity & access. https://t.co/9DCS1iKZ3T

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Folks, today I'm signing an Executive Order that'll revitalize our nation’s commitment to environmental justice in order to achieve real progress that communities can count on.

[Brenda Mallory @BrendaMallory46]

Our new tool identifies communities that have faced historic injustices & borne the brunt of pollution.

This will help ensure they’re some of the first to see the benefits of climate action, meeting @POTUS’s environmental justice goals.

[Matt Lee-Ashley @MattLeeAshley46]

Out today: a deep look into what 15 Fed agencies and @WhiteHouse are doing to transform government to tackle environmental injustice.
Updates & actions taken based on nearly 200 recommendations received from EJ leaders on #Justice40 1/3

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

Today for the #Justice40 week of action, we 1) launched https://t.co/KfAQVE4QM6 and 2) released a big report to Congress on how we’re implementing the first-ever White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council’s recommendations on J40, CEJST, & more!

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

A big moment for environmental justice! 🙌

[Brenda Mallory @BrendaMallory46]

Last night @POTUS highlighted the importance of environmental justice in his first State of the Union Address. #SOTU

No other President in history has ever done that, and that's because, from Day One, environmental justice has been a top priority for @POTUS and @WHCEQ.

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

This is a crucial step in implementing #Justice40, and will be used to identify disadvantaged communities who are marginalized, underserved and overburdened for benefits. Public comment period is open for 60 days!

[Council on Environmental Quality @WHCEQ46]

Today, we released a beta version of the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, a key component in the implementation of @POTUS' historic #Justice40 Initiative that takes a major step toward addressing current and historic environmental injustices.

Highlights from the Biden- Harris administration’s first year centering environmental justice and climate action - and the most ambitious EJ agenda ever tackled.

[Council on Environmental Quality @WHCEQ46]

Nearly one year ago, @POTUS laid the foundation for the most ambitious #environmentaljustice agenda ever undertaken by an Administration. Read more as the @WhiteHouse marks a year of progress in advancing environmental justice.

[Brenda Mallory @BrendaMallory46]

On day one, @POTUS and @VP made clear this Administration will chart a new and better course—one that puts environmental justice and climate action at the center of the work we do. 🧵

[Christy Goldfuss @christygoldfuss]

You have forever changed climate policy to be environmental justice policy. Thank you, Dr. Cecilia Martinez, for giving your life to this work. @WHCEQ

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

Some personal news: I got married to my partner! And I joined the @WHCEQ as a Policy Advisor on Environmental Justice! 2021 was an incredible year of growth, emotions, and new beginnings. Looking forward to the new year.

Two of our recent #AllIn analyses showed how a comprehensive U.S. "all-of-society" strategy that integrates federal and non-federal action can reduce emissions 50% by 2030. To understand what makes this achievable, check out our fact sheet: https://t.co/uUeG6jyDTT

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

New U.S. target of 50-52% "builds on leadership from mayors, county executives, governors, tribal leaders, businesses, faith groups, cultural institutions, health care organizations, investors, and communities who have worked together tirelessly to ensure sustained progress"

[America Is All In @americaisallin]

Today, @POTUS showed the world that he understands the urgency of the #climatecrisis by setting an ambitious climate target of 50-52% in emissions reductions by 2030. We are #AllInOnClimate to help reach and exceed this goal. Read our full statement: https://t.co/RaxY18NjNb

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

Huge testament to the strength and diversity of actors who have stepped up in past 4 yrs to lead on climate action ... & @americaisallin (formerly #americaspledge and #wearestillin initiatives) who produced analysis on this very scenario and organized this incredible coalition!

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

Check out our new #AllIn working paper showing that a comprehensive, all-of-society climate strategy for the U.S., integrating federal and non-federal action, can deliver emissions reductions of 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.

[America Is All In @americaisallin]

Today @AmericaIsAllIn released new data revealing a strong & achievable path for the US to reach 50% reductions by 2030. Together, federal & non-federal actors can raise the stakes and solidify climate ambition for years to come. https://t.co/71BCY6V3er

"But unlike past major investments, the plan prioritizes addressing long-standing and persistent racial injustice. The plan targets 40 percent of the benefits of climate and clean infrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities."

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

The Biden-Harris American Jobs plan is a sweeping proposal that focuses on the rights of the worker, communities, and critical infrastructure and transportation needs - and perhaps most importantly, is a crucial step to building a more equitable future powered by clean energy.

[America Is All In @americaisallin]

Today, President Biden travels to Pittsburgh to speak about infrastructure and clean energy jobs. Hear Mayor @billpeduto talk about Pittsburgh's climate leadership:

[Christina Bowman @ch_bowman]

Great to be able to join yesterday’s White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council meeting and learn about #Justice40 planning by Biden-Harris admin, and how they’re mobilizing an all of govt and agency-specific approach. Excited for the months and investments to come!
