The Biden Plan for a
Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice
VIEW SCORECARD
On his first day in office, President Biden signed an Executive Order (EO) on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis. This 1/20/21 Climate EO sets forth broad climate policy goals (Section 1) and directs an immediate review of all “existing regulations, orders, guidance, documents, policies and any other similar agency actions” by the previous administration that might be inconsistent with his policy goals. Agency heads are to consider suspending, revising or rescinding any actions deemed not in alignment with the new goals (Section 2). Further, the EO names many specific actions taken by the previous administration that are to be suspended, revised or rescinded.
