What is Justice 40?

During his first week in office, President Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad. Section 223 of EO 14008 established the Justice40 Initiative, which directs 40% of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments – including investments in clean energy and energy efficiency; clean transit; affordable and sustainable housing; training and workforce development; the remediation and reduction of legacy pollution; and the development of clean water infrastructure – to flow to disadvantaged communities (DACs).

JUSTICE 40 - SYMPOSIUM 2023

This Justice40 Symposium, organized by the Rio Grande International Study Center (RGISC), and GreenLatinos, was an opportunity to understand the magnitude of the Biden Administration’s Justice40 (J40) initiative that is making hundreds of billions of dollars available to economically disadvantaged regions like ours so that we can better adapt to the impacts of climate change.
