Senate Democrats Back Biden Administration's Governmentwide Social Cost of Carbon Directive
Press Release
Issues: Environment
"The cost of carbon and the resulting costs of climate change are felt every day in the lives and livelihoods of American families. The Biden administration's laudable decision to actually look at those costs across government agency actions will mean that those actions better reflect and respond to the challenges of climate change and the everyday struggles from extreme weather, pollution, rising sea levels, deadly heat, and other climate threats. By considering climate costs, the federal government will make better long-term decisions and better protect American families from economic, health, environmental, and security risks."
