In his first week in office, President Joe Biden directed all federal agencies to integrate climate adaptation planning into their missions, programs and management functions to ensure their success in enhancing preparedness for and resilience to the climate crisis. For the EPA, this includes evaluating how climate change might affect our efforts to attain environmental standards given heat waves and more intense storms, increased use of pesticides given expanded lifespans and habitat of insects and impacts of rising seas and storm surges on hazardous waste sites and critical water infrastructure.
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。
