Justice40: A New Era of Environmental Justice
The Justice40 Initiative is a commitment by the Biden-Harris Administration to ensure that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities. These communities are often disproportionately impacted by pollution, climate change, and other environmental hazards.
The Justice40 Initiative is a historic commitment to environmental justice. It is the first time that the federal government has set a goal of directing such a significant portion of its investments to disadvantaged communities.
There are many opportunities for people to take advantage of the Justice40 Initiative, including applying for grants from federal agencies that are participating in the initiative.
The specific eligibility requirements for each grant opportunity will vary. However, some common requirements include:
The project must benefit a disadvantaged community.
The project must be aligned with the goals of the Justice40 Initiative.
The project must have a strong plan for implementation and sustainability.
