ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

Our Commitment

Reducing burdens and ensuring benefits of natural resource development for vulnerable communities.

THE ISSUE

At its core, environmental justice is about equity. Communities of color and low-income areas should not bear the brunt of pollution from energy, industrial, and agricultural development while others enjoy the economic gains. We need to ensure that the benefits and burdens of natural resource development and protection are justly distributed across all communities in the state.
