-- Federal agencies will prioritize benefits using a new - climate and economic justice screening tool. This screening - tool will be a map that visualizes data to compare the - cumulative impacts of environmental, climate, and economic - factors. It is being developed by the Council on - Environmental Quality (CEQ) with guidance from environmental - justice leaders and communities affected by environmental - injustices. The first version of the screening tool will be - released in July 2021. However, the screening tool and data - being used will be continuously updated to better reflect - the lived experiences of community members. -

- -- Iterative: The initial community prioritization list - provided by the screening tool is the beginning of a - collaborative process in score refinement, rather than a - final answer. CEQ has received recommendations on data sets - from community interviews, the White House Environmental - Justice Advisory Council, and through public comment, but - establishing a score that is truly representative will be a - long-term, ongoing process. As communities submit feedback - and recommendations, CEQ will continue to improve the tools - being built and the processes for stakeholder and public - engagement. -
