Working Toward an Equitable and Just Climate Future

In its first month, the Biden administration has taken several steps to help secure the United States’ climate future and undo the harms initiated or worsened by the previous administration. State and local governments, climate advocates, and environmental justice leaders have been at the forefront of achieving climate success and confronting systemic racism and inequality and will continue to champion progress during the current administration and beyond. Monumental strides have occurred across the country, including state legislation developed with environmental justice advocates to protect environmentally overburdened communities; community-based conservation programs and campaigns; and new state and local commitments to renewable energy. Continued progress will grow even faster with federal partnership and coordination.

Please join the Center for American Progress and the League of Conservation Voters for a discussion on climate progress taking place across the country and how these best practices can be used as models for the federal government.
