EPA Launches EJScreen 2.0, Updating the Community Environmental Justice Mapping Tool
*Excerpted EPA announcement
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has updated and redesigned EJScreen, the Agency’s publicly available, award-winning environmental justice (EJ) screening and mapping tool. The redesigned tool, which has been named “EJScreen 2.0”, makes important improvements to better meet the needs of users and provides expanded insight into potential EJ concerns in overburdened communities. The update features new indicators on environmental burdens, socioeconomic factors, climate change, health, and critical service gaps.
Also today, the White House Council on Environmental Quality released its Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST). Learn more about the CEJST.
