As states respond to environmental justice organizing, cumulative impacts policies are increasingly being proposed to address the overlapping harms faced by low-income communities and communities of color. This article analyzes enacted and proposed state laws that incorporate cumulative impacts into permitting decisions, highlighting key design choices, especially legal mandates and rulemaking, that determine whether these policies deliver meaningful protections for EJ communities.

As part of a broader research effort with the Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) and the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, called the Just Returns Project, the Tishman Environment and Design Center conducted a mixed-methods investigation of the impact and scale of grassroots climate action. Through surveys and interviews with 44 CJA member groups and a review of the websites of the 48 Our Power Communities (OPC) CJA members, this study aimed to develop a grassroots-informed evaluative framework of impact and scale that aligns with the intersectional work of CJ organizations.

This report is part of a study documenting two years of Community First Fund (CFF) organizing efforts. CFF mobilized resources and collaborated with government, philanthropy, and investment leaders to leverage support to disadvantaged communities mandated by the Biden administration’s Justice40 Executive Order. This research report describes CFF’s pioneering approach to fostering cross-sector collaboration and relationship building to enhance accessibility and equity for disadvantaged, environmental justice communities in federal infrastructure investments.

The Tishman Center published a white paper summarizing research on what we know so far about the environmental health, and equity threats posed by Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS). This infographic illustrates this research, showing how CCS can harm environmental justice communities at every stage, from capture to transport to storage, and why it falls short as a solution to cut carbon emissions.

"This paper is a spatial analysis of CCS projects proposed for the power sector and their co-location with EJ communities. Compiling a proposed project list from four CCS databases, we found that 33 of the 35 projects were located in EJ communities, and that additionally, 423 of the 497 (or 85%) EJ census block groups located within three miles of at least one proposed project currently face heightened environmental stress. These results illustrate both the feasibility and the necessity of analyzing the co-location of proposed CCS buildout in EJ communities, and add to the nascent body of literature evaluating the impacts of carbon
management technologies such as CCS on these communities."

Spurred by the leadership of Environmental Justice advocates, states are increasingly engaging in policymaking to respond to the cumulative environmental and social burdens faced by EJ communities. During this webinar, we shared key findings from a first-of-its-kind policy review and database designed to support the integration of cumulative impacts into state environmental permitting frameworks. Advocates from three leading states shared insights on how they’re advancing cumulative impacts policies at various stages of development. We took a critical look at the growing wave of state policies aimed at addressing cumulative impacts in environmental permitting.
