• Video: Developing Cumulative Impacts Permitting Protections Webinar Recording

  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.
• Video: 2023 MER Webinar

  Across the United States, fossil fuel infrastructure emits toxic air pollution and planet-warming greenhouse gases that drive climate change. Low-income communities and communities of color bear the brunt of both, living on the front lines of impacts from climate change as well as suffering the harms of localized co-pollutants, like particular matter and nitrous oxides, emitted by nearby facilities. A just and equitable climate mitigation policy for the power sector must make the elimination of the sector’s outsized impact on these environmental justice (EJ) communities an explicit goal. A new joint report by Dr. Nicky Sheats of the John S. Watson Institute for Urban Policy and Research (Kean University) and members of the Tishman Environment and Design Center, lays out a framework for a policy to require mandatory emissions reductions (MER) of power sector pollution in EJ communities, and applies it to three state case studies: New Jersey, Minnesota, and Delaware.
