Today, we released a beta version of the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, a key component in the implementation of @POTUS' historic #Justice40 Initiative that takes a major step toward addressing current and historic environmental injustices.

The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool will help Federal agencies ensure that the benefits of the nation’s climate, clean energy, and environmental programs are finally reaching the communities that have been left out and left behind for far too long.
We are asking the public to provide feedback over the coming 60 days to help agencies identify disadvantaged communities to ensure that everyone is receiving the benefits intended from these investments.
