In the early months of his tenure, President Biden has moved quickly to undo the environmental track record of his predecessor, and to place climate action at the heart of his agenda. His administration already has begun to transform the nation’s energy and environmental landscape, according to a Washington Post analysis, by overturning dozens of Donald Trump’s policies and enacting a growing list of his own.

The Post is tracking key U.S. environmental policy shifts, following the successes and failures of a president who has vowed “a whole-of-government approach to put climate change at the center of our domestic, national security and foreign policy.”

From pausing new oil and gas leasing on public lands and waters to rejoining the Paris agreement, Biden has elevated the issue of climate change across the U.S. government and tried to accelerate the nation’s shift away from fossil fuels. He has pledged that the United States would cut its greenhouse gas emissions between 50 and 52 percent by the end of the decade compared with 2005 levels, a commitment that will require major changes in the ways Americans live, work and travel.

Still, much of Biden’s environmental wish list remains unfinished, and some of his goals face stiff political headwinds. Congressional Republicans, for instance, have expressed skepticism about the president’s infrastructure plan, which includes generous funding for electric vehicles, renewable projects and energy efficiency.
