A White House executive order issued on Wednesday looks to leverage the federal government’s procurement powers as the largest buyer in the world to address climate change and set government operations on a path to net-zero energy emissions.
The executive order titled “Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs through Federal Sustainability,” included five key commitments, from transitioning all federal infrastructure to zero-emission vehicles and buildings, to achieving net-zero emissions for federal procurement and government-wide operations by 2050.
