US President Finally Signs Executive Order To Improve Lives Of US Communities
US President Joe Biden on Friday signed an executive order aimed at promoting “environmental justice for all” and improving the lives of communities most affected by toxic pollution and climate change.
The order ensures that every federal agency will prioritize environmental justice and take action to address the disproportionate impacts of pollution on low-income communities and communities of color.
This move is part of the Biden administration’s efforts to tackle climate change and address environmental inequalities.
