This is an updated list of programs covered under the Justice40 Initiative. The Justice40 Initiative was established by President Biden in Executive Order 14008 on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,[1] and last year, formal guidance, M-21-28,[2] Interim Implementation Guidance for the Justice40 Initiative, was issued. The M-21-28 guidance memo provided further direction to Federal agencies on the Initiative, while also identifying twenty-one pilot programs.
As detailed in the M-21-28 guidance memo, Justice40 covered programs are Federal programs that make covered investments in any one of the following seven categories: climate change, clean energy and energy efficiency, clean transit, affordable and sustainable housing, training and workforce development, remediation and reduction of legacy pollution, and the development of critical clean water and wastewater infrastructure. Existing and new programs, including those created or expanded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, that make covered investments in any of these categories are considered Justice40 covered programs. As such, we expect this list to evolve over time as new Federal programs are created or existing Federal programs sunset.
Updates to Version 2.0 of the Justice40 covered programs list include the addition of Inflation Reduction Act programs, program name changes, program sunsets, etc. Notable changes made to the Department’s list can be found in the Program Changes Since Version 1.4 table.
The Department of the Interior has 75 covered programs.
