National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC)

The National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC) is a group of experts and community representatives that advises the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on issues related to environmental justice. Its goal is to ensure that all communities, especially those historically affected by pollution and neglect, have a fair say in environmental decisions and policies. NEJAC helps the EPA understand how environmental policies impact diverse communities, promotes equitable treatment, and recommends ways to address environmental inequalities, fostering healthier environments for everyone.
