Description
The White House unveiled new guidance on Tuesday directing federal
agencies to fully account for how their decisions impact the ecosystems
the public depends on. It’s one of several efforts the Biden
administration has underway to better assess the environmental benefits
throughout the rulemaking process. POLITICO’s E&E News reporter Jean
Chemnick breaks down the impact of the new guidance. Plus, a new
analysis from BloombergNEF found that the Inflation Reduction Act’s
clean energy incentives won't come close to keeping the United States on
track with the climate goals under the Paris agreement.
