On December 23, EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights released the agency’s Environmental Justice Strategic Plan. The plan lays out three goals for agency:

  1. Promote environmental justice and civil rights at the federal, Tribal, state, local, and community levels
  2. Embed environmental justice and external civil rights into EPA’s programs, policies, and activities
  3. Strengthen external civil rights enforcement to protect access to a healthy environment for all people
