The plan would defend low-income and minority communities against pollution, contamination and extreme weather events that are exacerbated by climate change.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's plan calls for spending at least $1 trillion in the next decade on the country's most vulnerable communities, who are often concentrated in highly polluted areas and exposed to toxic chemicals.
Warren would mandate that all federal agencies consider climate impacts in developing rules, and would restore the Obama-era water rule, which the Trump administration recently rolled back. The plan calls for spending at least $1 trillion in the next decade on the country's most vulnerable communities, who are often concentrated in highly polluted areas and exposed to contamination from lead and other toxic chemicals from industrial and agricultural run-off.
"The same communities that have borne the brunt of industrial pollution are now on the front lines of climate change, often getting hit first and worst," she wrote.
