什么是US EPA，EPA是什么？
在EPA总部有18000名员工，全国有10个地方办事处，17个实验室，雇佣了高学历、经过技术培训的职员，多半是工程师、科学家和环境保护专家。EPA行政总裁由总统任命。
EPA’s FY 2023-2026 Strategic Plan includes a new goal focused on tackling the climate crisis. The goal includes three objectives that reflect priorities in Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad:
Objective 1: Reduce Emissions that Cause Climate Change
Objective 2: Accelerate Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change Impacts
Objective 3: Advance International and Subnational Climate Efforts
The 2021 EPA Climate Adaptation Action Plan contains five agency-wide priority actions and measures
for evaluating performance that support Objective 2. The Plan also supports the agency’s and
government-wide efforts to advance environmental justice.
The Office of Policy is responsible for the development, management, and execution of this Plan. The
Associate Administrator for EPA’s Office of Policy is designated as the agency’s Senior Climate Change Adaptation Official. The official will work with the agency’s Chief Sustainability Officer and with EPA programs and regions to ensure implementation of the agency-wide priority actions and management activities described in this Plan.
The Cross-EPA Work Group on Climate Change Adaptation will support the goals of the Senior
Adaptation Official and Chief Sustainability Officer by coordinating the implementation of this Plan
across National Programs and Regional Offices. The work group includes representation from every
National Environmental Program Office, Regional Office, and National Support Offices. The Senior
Advisor for Climate Adaptation in the Office of Policy will chair the work group.
