EPANE’s Strategic Priorities. XXXXX’s Strategic Plan charts the course for advancing USEPA’s priorities and mission to protect human health and the environment. The FY2018-2022 USEPA Strategic Plan2 (“EPA Plan”) was developed in accordance with the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2011 and identifies the measurable environmental and human health outcomes the public can expect during the period from 2018-2022 along with describing how USEPA intends to achieve those results. The EPA Plan represents commitment to core values of science, transparency, accountability and the rule of law in managing environmental programs. The EPA Plan identifies three strategic goals along with supporting objectives, which are as follows: • Goal 1: A Cleaner, Healthier Environment: Deliver a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment for all Americans and future generations by carrying out the Agency’s core mission.
EPANE’s Strategic Priorities. EPA’s FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan communicates the Agency’s priorities and provides the roadmap for achieving its mission to protect human health and the environment. In this Strategic Plan, the Agency renews its commitment to the three principles articulated by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, who served as the EPA’s first Administrator (1970 – 1973, and then again from 1983 – 1985), to: follow the science, follow the law, and be transparent. The Agency also adds a fourth foundational principle: advance justice and equity. We add this principle to infuse the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals into all EPA policies, practices, and programs.

In accordance with these priorities, we have established new strategic goals on addressing climate change and environmental justice to signal the importance of these issues. Goal 1 focuses on cutting pollution that causes climate change and increasing the adaptive capacity of Tribes, states, territories, and communities, and Goal 2 focuses on achieving tangible progress for historically overburdened and underserved communities and ensuring the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income in developing and implementing environmental laws, regulations, and policies. We will embed this focus into the work we do to carry out our five programmatic strategic goals for enforcement and compliance, air quality, water quality, land revitalization, and chemical safety. Our four cross-agency strategies describe the essential ways EPA will carry out our mission. These strategies include reinforcing science as foundational to Agency decision making; protecting children’s environmental health; building back EPA’s workforce with particular attention to equity and enhancing mission-support functions to achieve organiza...
