The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it is taking a “series of actions to secure environmental justice for all Americans.” Among the new initiatives is the formation of a new office that will enforce increased environmental regulations and help with combatting the “climate crisis”, according to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Since taking office, President Biden has launched the “Justice40” initiative, which aims to provide 40% of the benefits of government climate and clean energy investments to “historically disadvantaged communities.”
On Thursday, Garland said the department will prioritize cases that create the greatest impact on communities “most overburdened by environmental harm.”
