President Joe Biden will announce new environmental justice actions at the White House on Friday morning, surrounded by climate and environmental justice advocates, according to a White House official
Biden will sign a new executive order that will make environmental justice a central mission of “every single executive agency,” per the the official. The executive order, which will still be up to agencies to implement, will also create a new Office of Environmental Justice inside the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Biden’s announcements come as many climate and environmental justice groups have been frustrated at the administration’s recent approval of a major Alaska oil project.
The order comes a few years after Biden announced his signature “Justice40” initiative, vowing to direct 40% of federal climate and clean funding from new legislation to disadvantaged communities. On Friday, three additional agencies – the Department of Commerce, the National Science Foundation and NASA – will also join the initiative.
