Biden's new Office of Environmental Justice in the White House will coordinate all environmental justice efforts across the federal government.
President Joe Biden on Friday will sign an executive order directing federal agencies to invest in disadvantaged communities disproportionally affected by pollution and climate change, the White House said.
Biden is anticipated to condemn Republicans over "safeguarding handouts for Big Oil companies" and "fighting to make it easier for oil and gas companies to pollute the air we breathe," a White House official said. The order will create a new Office of Environmental Justice in the White House to coordinate all environmental justice efforts across the federal government and require agencies to notify nearby communities if toxic substances are released from a federal facility., will make the announcement during a ceremony at the White House Rose Garden.
Republican lawmakers have urged weaker regulation of oil production in order to lower energy prices. And earlier this week, Speaker Kevin McCarthy proposed lifting the debt limit for one year and scaling back federal spending, including repealing electric vehicle and other clean energy tax incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act.
