ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
The just treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of income, wealth, race, color,
national origin, area of residence, Tribal affiliation, or disability, in agency decision-making and other
activities that affect human health and the environment so that people: are fully protected from
disproportionate and adverse human health and environmental effects (including risks) and hazards,
including those related to climate change, the cumulative impacts of environmental and other burdens, and
the legacy of racism or other structural or systemic barriers; and have equitable access to a healthy,
sustainable, and resilient environment in which to live, play, work, learn, grow, worship, and engage in cultural
and subsistence practices. It further involves the prevention of future environmental injustice and the
redress of historic environmental injustice.
