"As a presidential candidate, Joe Biden promised to address the historic environmental injustices affecting low-income communities and communities of color.
Soon after taking office, Biden followed through on part of that promise by creating the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council to coordinate the Justice40 Initiative, which aims to deliver 40 percent of the benefits of federal climate-related investments to disadvantaged communities.
But on Tuesday, three members of that advisory council gathered reporters for a call where they criticized a central aspect of the White House's approach to environmental justice and made recommendations to guide its work going forward."
