Climate Justice Grants Act

What this bill does

The EPA must create a grant program to help tribes, local governments, nonprofits, and community groups address climate justice issues.
Grants go to organizations serving communities of color, Indigenous communities, and low-income areas that face disproportionate pollution impacts.
The bill establishes a funding mechanism but does not specify total appropriation amounts or implementation timeline.

How should the EPA prioritize which communities receive grants if funding is limited and more organizations apply than can be supported?
02
What evidence exists that grant programs are more effective than regulatory approaches at reducing pollution in overburdened communities?
03
Who would be responsible for measuring whether these grants actually reduce health disparities, and what metrics would indicate success?
