Biden readies second batch of climate orders for next week: memo
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden will announce a second round of executive orders focused on combating climate change early next week as he rushes to reverse Trump-era environmental rollbacks, according to a memo seen by Reuters.
The announcements, to be unveiled Jan. 27, include an "omnibus" climate change order that kicks off a "series of regulatory actions to combat climate change domestically and elevates climate change as a national security priority," according to the memo, which did not provide details.
They include a directive to all federal agencies to rely on science in their rulemakings, an order re-establishing the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science, and the announcement of a U.S.-hosted climate leaders' summit on Earth Day, April 22.
White House spokesman Vedant Patel did not comment on the memo but said the administration would have more information to share on Biden's planned executive orders in the coming days.
