Pennsylvania Faults EPA's FY18-22 Strategic Plan For 'Neglecting' Climate

摘要

Pennsylvania environment regulators and public health groups are faulting EPA's omission of climate change from its recent draft strategic plan for fiscal years 2018-2022, calling it a "glaring oversight" that shirks the agency's responsibility to help tackle a global challenge and will harm efforts to achieve the plan's other goals. "By neglecting to even acknowledge climate change, the EPA is placing the livelihood of future generations in jeopardy," says the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) in critical Oct. 31 comments, recently posted to the docket for EPA's draft plan for FY18-22, a document outlining the agency's broad priorities.
