On “Climate Day”, President Biden is making good on his commitment to tackle climate change by signing a suite of executive orders directing all agencies of the federal government to prioritize #climateaction at home and abroad.
Here are the major actions [Thread]

International Leadership. Biden directs the U.S. to begin the process of developing the country’s emission reduction target (NDC), a climate finance plan and hosting the international climate summit on April 22 to push major emitters to ramp up climate ambition.
Foreign Policy and National Security. Climate change must now be prioritized as an essential element when considering U.S. foreign policy, national security decisions and other international work.
Federal Lands & Waters. Biden commits to #30by30–conserving 30% of our lands and waters by 2030. Biden also pauses new oil and gas leases on public lands and offshore waters, and directs a review of existing leasing/permitting practices.
Federal Agencies. Leaders from 21 federal agencies and departments will make up the National Climate Task Force to enable a whole-of-government approach to combat the #climatecrisis.
Zero-Emission Electricity and Vehicles. All federal agencies must procure carbon pollution-free electricity and clean, zero-emission vehicles to create good-paying, union jobs and accelerate the clean energy transition.
Infrastructure. Now is the time to invest in low-carbon infrastructure. Biden directs federal infrastructure investment to reduce emissions and accelerate #cleanenergy projects to create jobs in construction, manufacturing, engineering & skilled trades.
Just Transition. Biden establishes an Interagency Working Group on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization to support #fossilfuel communities.

Environmental Justice. Each federal agency must develop programs, policies, and activities to address the disproportionate health, environmental, economic, and climate impacts on disadvantaged communities.
Environmental Justice. Biden establishes the Justice40 initiative to deliver 40 percent of the overall benefits of relevant federal investments to disadvantaged communities and track performance toward that goal through the establishment of an Environmental Justice Scorecard.
Agriculture. Use federal programs to encourage adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices that produce verifiable carbon reductions and sequestration and create new sources of income and jobs for rural Americans.
President Biden’s orders are significant progress in addressing the #climatecrisis. Great start on the 10 priorities I outlined in my post-election commentary. https://t.co/cm46fWi7Vc
Now it’s time for Congress to step up and respond to the call for #climateaction.

More from Biden

When Biden talked about unity, he was very specific about what he meant, and the insistence of right-wing tools like @Kredo0 to try to frame stuff like this as “betraying his own ‘unity agenda’” (what is that even a quote from?) shows how pointless it is to try to work with Rs.


Guys like @Kredo0 want to a.) put the onus of unifying the country entirely on Biden and Dems, b.) pretend that “unity” is the same as capitulation, while c.) not giving an inch on their end.

No. No, no, no. Nice try.

Really, get all the way the fuck out of here with that take. “Biden didn’t keep Trump’s POLITICAL APPOINTEES in their position, therefore Biden isn’t unifying the country.” Fuuuuuuck off with that bullshit.

When Biden said “unity,” he was talking about trying to help ALL Americans, not just the ones who voted for him. This, sadly, needed to be said after the Trump administration repeatedly tried to screw over people who didn’t support him.

Remember when the Trump administration INTENTIONALLY let the virus rage out of control (really should have been a bigger scandal, but 🤷🏻‍♀️) because it was mostly hitting states that voted for Dems?
