HUD released its Climate Action Plan recognizing climate change’s disparate impacts on low-income families and communities of color and announcing three goals designed to mitigate those impacts. The third goal, environmental justice, was supported by proposals to promote climate justice in tribal communities, encourage equitable community engagement, create green jobs, and reduce exposure to lead poisoning and radon.
