John,

How we measure impact matters – especially for communities that are overburdened and underserved.

Join us in urging the White House Council of Environmental Quality to include climate, environmental health, and economic benefits in its annual Environmental Justice Scorecard. The scorecard breaks down how the federal government is addressing environmental injustices, but the way they are grading themselves doesn’t tell us the full picture. 

Last January, the White House announced its commitment to accelerate environmental justice and economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities through the Justice40 initiative, and since then the administration has worked to ensure at least 40 percent of the overall federal climate benefits are delivered to impacted communities. But how will these efforts to address the decades of environmental injustices be graded? 

To ensure the Justice40 initiative is successful, we need a strong and effective scorecard that measures exactly how climate investments provide environmental and economic benefits for impacted communities. We also need to ensure proper tracking of Justice40 implementation so federal agencies are held accountable as well.

Last March, you helped drive thousands of comments into the White House to ensure that climate benefits be directed to the communities that needed them most. Now, we need your help to ensure that this scorecard isn’t created by a privileged few.

Take action TODAY and tell the White House Council of Environmental Quality to improve the Environmental Justice Scorecard.

Sign the Petition

We can’t make a difference without you. Thank you!
—T.J. Osborne, Green For All Federal Policy Manager
