Welcome to the Biden-Harris Administration’s Environmental Justice Scorecard. On this website, you will find information about what federal agencies are doing to advance environmental justice in communities across America.

President Biden has prioritized environmental justice by launching a whole-of-government effort to confront longstanding environmental injustices and inequities. The Environmental Justice Scorecard is a signature component of this commitment. It is the first-ever government-wide assessment of what the federal government is doing to advance environmental justice.

The Environmental Justice Scorecard was created at the direction of President Biden to assess the federal government’s progress on advancing environmental justice, to provide transparency for the public, and to increase accountability for federal agencies.

The Phase One Scorecard

This first version of the Environmental Justice Scorecard, or the Phase One Scorecard, presents a baseline assessment of actions taken by federal agencies in 2021 and 2022 to help achieve the Biden-Harris Administration’s environmental justice goals.

The Phase One Scorecard reports on the progress of 24 federal agencies in the following areas:

• Advancing the President’s Justice40 Initiative
• Implementing and enforcing environmental and civil rights laws
• Embedding environmental justice throughout the federal government

Future versions of the Environmental Justice Scorecard will build on this baseline assessment, measure the progress of federal agencies over time, and include additional information on how this work is benefiting disadvantaged communities.
