Abstract

A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives to block federal funding for the White House's climate-based workforce initiative, known as the American Climate Corps. The bill, called the No American Climate Corps Act, aims to prevent the program from receiving any federal funding. The American Climate Corps was introduced as part of the Biden administration's Justice40 initiative, which seeks to allocate 40% of the benefits of certain federal investments to underserved communities affected by climate issues and pollution. The bill has been referred to several House committees for further consideration. [Extracted from the article]
