President Trump signed an executive order (EO) rescinding EO 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, originally signed by President Biden on January 27, 2021. Among other provisions, this EO originally established the Justice40 Initiative, which established a goal that at least 40 percent of federal investments in addressing the climate crisis or on environmental improvements flow toward disadvantaged communities. The initiative identified several areas across the federal government, including pollution reduction and cleanup, clean energy, and clean water infrastructure,  and instructed relevant agencies to develop guidance and recommendations for how to identify and prioritize the communities that are burdened the most by environmental risks or degradation. Halting the Justice40 initiative risks the significant progress made by the federal government to prioritize using the lever of public investment to improve environmental, public health, and economic conditions for disadvantaged communities, particularly among rural, low-income, Black, Hispanic, or Native Americans.
