Spotlight on Environmental Justice

Training Spotlight: Environmental Justice (EJ) Awareness

“Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” – epa.gov

The Environmental Justice movement continues to grow as communities strive for equality with environmental protection. Businesses and industries share the responsibilities in strengthening their participation in EJ, “green business” development, and sustainability. Is your business trained to understand the importance of the Environmental Justice movement as well as their participation efforts? If not, now is the time. And Envicomply can help with our Environmental Justice Awareness course.

This training serves as an introduction to Environmental Justice (EJ) and takes a look at the origins of the Environmental Justice movement, Federal actions to address EJ, how Environmental Justice is currently being addressed at the state and national level, and examples of environmental injustices globally and in the U.S.

 

Plus, you’ll also learn important basics like:

  • What is environmental justice, and why is it important
  • How environmental justice started
  • What are environmental justice communities and what are the dangers they face
  • How to include environmental justice principles in your daily life
