Federal Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice (IWG-EJ)

The Federal Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice (IWG-EJ) is a collaboration among various U.S. government agencies dedicated to ensuring that environmental policies and programs fairly address the needs of communities historically marginalized or disproportionately affected by pollution and environmental hazards. It promotes coordinated efforts to identify, understand, and reduce environmental inequalities, fostering equitable access to a clean and healthy environment across all populations. By working together, these agencies aim to incorporate environmental justice principles into decision-making processes and deliver better outcomes for vulnerable communities.
