President Biden’s first two weeks in office have set out an incredibly ambitious environmental agenda, promising a broad response to the climate crisis and environmental justice. If the Administration follows through and gets this right, it will have big implications for our work in the South.
“Climate change and environmental injustice are urgent priorities for SELC, and we are grateful to have a federal Administration that shares our commitment,” says SELC Program Director DJ Gerken. “The South is the front line for tackling these twin crises and we look forward to applying SELC’s on-the-ground expertise to help the Administration find practical solutions.”
