To
accomplish these goals, the Federal Government will transform its portfolio of
300,000 buildings, fleet of 600,000 cars and trucks, and annual purchasing
power of $650 billion in goods and services to:
·
Achieve 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity use by
2030, including 50 percent on a 24/7 basis;
·
Achieve
100 percent acquisition of zero-emission vehicles by 2035 for the Federal
vehicle fleet, including 100 percent light-duty vehicle acquisition by 2027;
·
Modernize
the Federal buildings portfolio to reach net-zero emissions by 2045, including
a 50 percent reduction in building emissions by 2032;
·
Make
Federal agencies more adaptive and resilient to the impacts of climate change;
·
Increase
the sustainability of federal supply chains, achieving net-zero emissions
from Federal procurement by 2050;
·
Mainstream
sustainability within the Federal workforce;
·
Advance
equity and environmental justice; and
·
Collaborate with leading American unions,
businesses, States, Tribes, municipalities, and other countries will accelerate
progress and catalyze greater climate action at home and abroad.
Over the course of the next couple months, the White House and
critical enabling partners at DOE and GSA will be engaging with agencies
through briefings, workshops, seminars, new tools and other actions to provide
support through this transformation. Together, these actions will enable the
Federal Government to reduce its emissions by 65 percent by 2030, delivering
net-zero emissions from overall Federal operations by 2050.
