U.S. Department of EnergyWe are excited to publicly release the list of DOE programs that are covered by President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative, a whole-of-government commitment to securing environmental justice and spurring economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities (DACs).  As laid out in Section 223 of President Biden’s Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, communities that have been historically marginalized and overburdened by pollution and underinvestment in housing, transportation, water and wastewater infrastructure, and health care will now see at least 40% of the benefits of Federal investments in seven areas that touch on DOE’s missions.Those areas are climate change; clean energy and energy efficiency; clean transportation; affordable and sustainable housing; training and workforce development; remediation and reduction of legacy pollution; and critical clean water and waste infrastructure.The Office of Management and Budget has identified more than 140 DOE programs across 22 DOE offices that are covered by Justice40, ranging from established support to communities like the Weatherization Assistance Program to new technologies and initiatives like those supported by our new Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations.DOE is proud to support this initiative and the offices that are committed to partnering with communities and lifting communities that were polluted and left behind.

NOAA flyerNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Biden Administration announces historic coastal and climate resilience funding. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocates nearly $3 billion of funding over 5 years to NOAA.Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Funding Opportunities website Today, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina M. Raimondo announced funding opportunities from NOAA’s $2.96 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds to address the climate crisis and strengthen coastal resilience and infrastructure. Over the next five years, NOAA’s targeted investments in the areas of habitat restoration, coastal resilience, and climate data and services will advance ongoing federal efforts toward building climate resilience.NOAA will select high-impact projects that will incentivize investments in communities, states, and regions that can drive additional funding to complementary projects. Funded projects will support three major initiatives:Climate Ready Coasts will help coastal communities build the future they want to see, investing in natural infrastructure projects that build coastal resilience, create jobs, store carbon, remove marine debris, and restore habitat. ($1.467 billion over five years)Climate Data and Services will support a whole-of-government effort to address the climate crisis by getting critical information and tools in the hands of decision-makers, particularly to address floods, wildfire, drought, and ocean health. ($904 million over five years)Fisheries and Protected Resources will advance efforts to restore important fisheries habitat and promote community economic development. ($592 million over five years)Today’s announcement highlights Notice of Funding Opportunities for the coming year focused on habitat restoration, coastal resilience, and marine debris as part of the Climate Ready Coasts initiative including:Transformational Habitat Restoration and Coastal Resilience Grants ($85 million) Coastal Habitat Restoration and Resilience Grants for Underserved Communities ($10 million)Coastal Zone Management Habitat Protection and Restoration Grants ($35 million)National Estuarine Research Reserve System Habitat Protection and Restoration Grants ($12 million)Marine Debris Removal ($56 million)Marine Debris Challenge Competition ($16 million)offsite linkMarine Debris Community Action Coalitions ($3 million)offsite linkThe announcement today builds on a series of steps that the Administration has taken over the month of June – National Ocean Month – to conserve and restore the health and productivity of the nation’s oceans and coasts for the benefit of all Americans.
