Biden Orders Immediate Confrontation of Climate Crisis
On Jan. 20, President Joe Biden signed an executive order entitled, “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.” It establishes the Biden administration’s commitment to immediately work to confront both the causes and impacts of climate change by implementing policy guided by science. The order rolls back many actions taken by the Trump administration to loosen environmental standards and protections and calls on all federal agency heads to review and “consider suspending, revising, or rescinding the agency actions” that may be inconsistent with Biden’s articulated policy. It also effectively recommits the U.S. to the 2015 Paris Climate Accords, a multilateral treaty designed to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change, which President Trump withdrew the U.S. from in 2017.
