Justice40 is a Biden-led initiative to ensure that government agencies work with states and local communities to deliver at least 40% of the overall benefits from federal investments in climate and clean energy to disadvantaged communities. The Bezos Earth Fund, launched in 2020, has committed $10 billion to people and organizations that are taking action against the climate crisis. Of that $10 billion, the fund plans to dedicate $150 million to organizations supporting the Justice40 effort.
