Description (excerpt):
President Biden’s executive actions on climate change in his first week in office show that he is hitting the ground running when it comes to climate policy. He has already taken steps to recommit the U.S. to the Paris Agreement, revoke the Keystone XL pipeline permit, elevate climate change to a national security priority, create several new positions within the government focused on environmental justice, explore a potential ban on new oil and gas leasing on federal land, and expand conservation of federal land and water.
In his inaugural address, President Biden said “A cry for survival comes from the planet itself, a cry that could not be any more desperate or any more clear.” Never before has an incoming administration offered such a thoughtful, comprehensive, science-based plan to address climate change. The BICEP Network stands ready to support the president in his efforts to put the U.S. on a path toward a just and equitable clean energy economy.
The 2021 Ceres Policy Outlook offers a guide to the climate, energy and clean transportation measures we will pursue in the coming year. We look forward to continued collaboration as we work to build back better to advance a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
