Environmental Justice and Equity Policies

Environmental Justice and Equity Policies focus on ensuring that all communities, especially marginalized and low-income groups, have equal access to a healthy environment and are not disproportionately affected by environmental harms, such as pollution or climate change. These policies aim to involve affected communities in decision-making processes and promote fair distribution of environmental benefits and burdens. By addressing inequalities, they seek to create sustainable solutions that protect both the environment and the rights of vulnerable populations, fostering a more just and equitable society.
