Description
Pres- ident Biden’s Executive Order 14057 on Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sus- tainability established government-wide goals for net-zero emissions. Under the Federal Sustainability Plan, major Federal agencies will set annual progress targets toward reaching topline goals. Annual public report- ing is foundational to this approach so that members of the public can track progress and hold Federal agen- cies accountable for sustainability targets and management of climate-related risks and vulnerabilities. Feder- al agencies were called upon to develop annual climate adaptation and resilience plans that evaluate the most significant climate-related risks and vulnerabilities for agency operations and missions, and identify actions to manage those risks and vulnerabilities. Agencies will track and report progress through key metrics and annu- al sustainability reports. The Federal Government commits to implementing this Executive Order and making these annual reports, data, and scorecards measuring progress available to the public at http://www.sustainability.gov.
