Environmental and Climate Justice

This chapter discusses environmental and climate justice. The tip of the environmental justice iceberg is that it aspires to fair treatment for everyone regardless of race, color, national origin, political beliefs, or income. This chapter discusses several EJ executive orders, CEQ policy, Justice40, screening and mapping tools, and several examples of environmental and climate injustice in the states of Louisiana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Texas. There is also a discussion concerning the U.S. politics of global warming.
