Planners for Environmental Justice

Planners for Environmental Justice are professionals who prioritize fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all communities, especially marginalized or vulnerable ones, in environmental decision-making. They work to ensure that no group bears an unequal share of pollution, hazards, or lack of access to natural resources. By considering social, economic, and environmental factors, these planners promote development and policies that protect public health and promote equity. Their goal is to create healthy, sustainable environments where everyone, regardless of race, income, or background, has equal opportunity to thrive.
