Report

OSTP, in partnership with CEQ and 11 other agencies, published its final Environmental Justice Science, Data, and Research Plan. President Biden ordered OSTP to create the plan under Executive Order 14096. The report will be updated every two years and identifies four priority thematic areas: enhancing meaningful public involvement; fully integrating social determinants of health, cumulative impacts, and other standards to protect communities from environmental injustice; strengthen work and partnership with non-federal research entities; and institutionalize environmental justice. OSTP previously issued a request for information seeking comments on the draft plan. Read comments submitted.
