Bill > HR8527

This bill establishes the Climate Justice Working Group, an advisory committee that will advise the President and federal agencies on the just and equitable transition towards a clean, climate-resilient, zero-emission economy. The Working Group will be comprised of 22 members with expertise in climate change, environmental pollution, and the impacts on frontline and disadvantaged communities. The group will establish criteria and metrics to identify climate-burdened communities and guiding principles to ensure federal goals and initiatives prioritize and directly benefit these communities without exacerbating existing burdens. The bill also requires federal agencies to incorporate the Working Group's recommendations into their plans, strategies, and programs, including through the Justice40 Initiative, which aims to deliver 40% of the overall benefits of federal investments in climate and clean energy to disadvantaged communities.
