For generations, we failed to address climate change and now we face a climate crisis—a crisis that has largely fallen on Black and brown communities who don’t have the luxury to escape heat islands or legacy pollution. This is a step to address environmental injustice.
Extreme heat is our leading weather-related killer, and the climate crisis is putting more people in harm’s way. That’s why today, the President is announcing an interagency response to protect our workers and communities. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

Today, we issued interim implementation guidance for the Justice40 initiative, a key mile marker on the road to translating @POTUS’ goal — that 40% of the benefits of key federal investments in climate flow to disadvantaged communities — into real on-the-ground impact! 1/4
