Promise Details
Harris advocated embedding environmental justice across the federal government. The administration established the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council and expanded the EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice, enabling direct funding to affected communities. These offices coordinated multi-agency efforts through the “Justice40” initiative, ensuring 40 % of climate investments reach disadvantaged areas. These structures remain operational under federal law and continue awarding grants — marking the promise as accomplished.
