Equity and Environmental Justice
Equity and environmental justice (EJ) are vital to a community because they ensure fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, in policies and decisions. This fosters a healthy, sustainable environment where everyone can thrive, reducing disparities and promoting social cohesion.
Climate and Environmental Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) | CEQ
