Public lands energy and climate policy It is the policy of the United States that— (1) the United States should aggressively reduce greenhouse gas emissions from United States public lands and oceans and strive to achieve net-zero emissions as soon as possible; (2) public lands should be managed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and co-pollutant emissions and to respond to unavoidable impacts of climate change through increased resilience of ecosystems and wildlife habitats in accordance with the principles of multiple use and sustained yield; (3) the protection of ocean ecosystems is vital to promoting ocean health and increasing resilience to climate change, and conservation of United States marine resources is one of the best ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; (4) energy development decisions on public lands and oceans should be guided by the goals of— (A) protecting human well-being, biodiversity, and the environment; (B) avoiding the most harmful impacts of climate change; and (C) promoting a rapid, sustainable, just, and equitable transition to a clean energy economy; and (5) environmental justice communities are more vulnerable to the effects of emissions from public lands and oceans and often have the least resources to respond
