November 11, 2022CEQ Urged To Set Clearer Metrics For Scoring Agencies’ Justice40 Progress

The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) is being roundly urged to set clearer metrics and be more transparent in the scorecard it is developing to track EPA and other agencies’ progress implementing the Biden administration’s Justice40 initiative, with dozens of groups submitting comments in response to CEQ’s August request for information (RFI).

“For the Scorecard to be transparent and meaningful, CEQ must clearly define the primary metrics by which success will be measured,” and these should include “reductions in pollution and improvement in health and quality of life,” Coming Clean and the Environmental Justice Health Alliance for Chemical Policy Reform say in joint Nov. 3 comments.
