Bridging commitment to action. The Justice40 Initiative and the Inflation Reduction Act embody the current national commitment to environmental justice aiming to tackle a legacy of disinvestment and pollution in overburdened, underserved, and disadvantaged communities. More than one year into their signature into law can provide great insights into lessons learned, gaps, and opportunities to accomplish their goals.
