Welcome

Welcome to the Biden-Harris Administration’s Environmental Justice Scorecard. On this website, you will find information about what federal agencies are doing to advance environmental justice in communities across America.

During his first week in office, President Biden signed Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, launching the most ambitious environmental justice agenda ever undertaken by the federal government. The Environmental Justice Scorecard is a signature component of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to confronting longstanding environmental injustice and inequities. It is the first-ever government-wide assessment of what the federal government is doing to advance environmental justice.

The current version of the Environmental Justice Scorecard, or the Phase Two Scorecard, outlines actions taken by federal agencies to advance environmental justice in Fiscal Year 2023 (October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023). It builds upon the baseline assessment presented in the Phase One Scorecard, released in April 2023, in the following areas:

• Advancing the President’s Justice40 Initiative
• Implementing and enforcing environmental and civil rights laws
• Centering environmental justice in decision-making
• Embedding environmental justice throughout the federal government
