Executive Order 14008
</a>
on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, President Biden directed the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to develop a geospatial mapping tool to identify disadvantaged communities that face burdens. The tool has an interactive map and uses datasets that are indicators of burdens.
</p>
<p>
Federal agencies will use the tool for the Justice40 Initiative. It will help them identify disadvantaged communities that should receive 40% of the overall benefits of programs included in the Justice40 Initiative. The Justice40 Initiative seeks to deliver 40% of the overall benefits in climate, clean energy, and other related areas to disadvantaged communities.

Executive Order 14008
</a>
recognizes that some communities are disadvantaged because they face burdens. The CEJST uses datasets that are indicators of burden. These burdens are related to climate change and the environment. They are also related to health and lack of economic opportunity.
</p>
<p>
The tool highlights disadvantaged communities across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. Communities are considered disadvantaged:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
If they are in a census tract that meets the thresholds for at least one of the tool’s categories of burden, or
</li>
<li>
If they are on land within the boundaries of Federally Recognized Tribes
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Not all disadvantaged communities can be shown on the map. Some communities do not live in just one place. The Interim Implementation Guidance on the Justice40 Initiative also directs Federal agencies to consider geographically dispersed communities when implementing programs included in the Justice40 Initiative.
</p>
<p>
The tool uses census tracts. Census tracts are small units of geography. Census tract boundaries for

>
statistical areas
</a>
are determined by the U.S. Census Bureau once every ten years. The tool utilizes the census tract boundaries from 2010. This was chosen primarily because many of the data sources in the tool currently use the 2010 census boundaries.

Q: Is race included in the tool’s methodology?

</h2>
<div

<p>
No. The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) does not use racial demographics in its methodology. The current version of the tool displays data about race and age only to provide information when a census tract is selected.
</p>
<p>
It is well-documented that communities of color suffer disproportionately from environmental and health burdens. Due to decades of underinvestment, they also face greater risks from climate change.
</p>
<p>
Although the CEJST does not use race in its methodology, the tool creates a map that seeks to reflect the on-the-ground burdens and realities that disadvantaged communities face. The tool shows communities that have environmental burdens and face injustice.

<p>
Yes, version 2.0 of the CEJST has some data for all the territories, but not all the CEJST data are available or used for all U.S. territories.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Puerto Rico:
</strong>
The data used for Puerto Rico are from all relevant and available fields in the energy, housing, legacy pollution, transportation, and workforce development categories. The following data are used: projected flood risk, energy cost, lack of plumbing, lead paint, housing cost, proximity to hazardous waste facilities, proximity to Superfund or National Priorities List (NPL) sites, proximity to Risk Management Plan (RMP) facilities, diesel particulate matter exposure, traffic proximity and volume, underground storage tanks and releases, wastewater discharge, poverty, unemployment, and high school education. Linguistic isolation was removed for Puerto Rico based on feedback received during the beta period.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands:
</strong>
For these U.S. territories, the tool uses the following data: unemployment, poverty, low median income, and high school education. These burdens are in the workforce development category.

To respect Tribal sovereignty and self-government and to fulfill Federal trust and treaty responsibilities to Tribal Nations, land within the boundaries of Federally Recognized tribes are highlighted as disadvantaged on the map. Alaska Native Villages are included as point locations that are smaller than census tracts. The boundaries of census tracts and the lands of Federally Recognized Tribes are different.

Some census tracts that contain land within the boundaries of Federally Recognized Tribes are also considered disadvantaged because they meet the burden thresholds for at least one of the categories on the tool. When this happens, the areas appear darker on the tool’s map.

<p>
A census tract that does not meet any of the burden thresholds in the tool is usually not considered to be a disadvantaged community. However, if such a census tract contains land within the boundaries of Federally Recognized Tribes, then the parts of the tract that contain the land of Tribes are considered disadvantaged. The tool will display this type of census tract as “partially disadvantaged.”

The Biden administration is advancing environmental justice across the whole-of-government. The Justice40 Initiative is a critical part of this effort. The Justice40 Initiative seeks to deliver 40% of the overall benefits of climate, clean energy, and related investments to disadvantaged communities.
</p>
<p>
The CEJST will play an important role in the Justice40 Initiative. It will help to provide a single, consistent definition of disadvantaged communities for programs included in the Justice40 Initiative.

Federal agencies will use the tool to help identify disadvantaged communities that will benefit from programs included in the Justice40 Initiative. The Justice40 Initiative seeks to deliver 40% of the overall benefits of certain investments to disadvantaged communities.
</p>
<p>
Federal agencies will use this definition to direct Justice40 investment benefits in the following areas:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Climate
</li>
<li>
Clean energy and energy efficiency
</li>
<li>
Clean transit

<p>
Historic legislation, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, has created new programs and directed funds to existing ones. These investments are included in the Justice40 Initiative if they meet the eligibility criteria. Agencies will use the tool to help identify disadvantaged communities that will receive 40% of the overall benefits of those Justice40 programs.

The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Climate Policy Office (CPO) released the Justice40 Interim Implementation Guidance on July 20, 2021. It directed agencies to develop interim definitions of disadvantaged communities. Agencies used their interim definitions during the CEJST’s beta phase, and are now using version 2.0 as the primary tool to geographically identify disadvantaged communities.

The CEJST uses lessons learned from the EPA's EJScreen. EJScreen is an environmental justice mapping and screening tool. EJScreen shows environmental and demographic information and combines that information together into indices. The EPA, Federal agencies, and state and local governments will continue to use EJScreen to understand and analyze for environmental and EJ issues. For example, EPA uses
<a
class="usa-link usa-link--external"
data-cy=""
href="https://www.epa.gov/ejscreen/how-does-epa-use-ejscreen"

EJScreen
</a>
to:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Inform outreach and engagement practices
</li>
<li>
Implement aspects of the following programs:
</li>
<ul>
<li>
Permitting programs
</li>
<li>
Enforcement programs
</li>
<li>
Compliance programs
</li>
<li>
Voluntary programs
</li>
</ul>
<li>
Develop retrospective reports of EPA work
</li>
<li>
Enhance geographically based initiatives
</li>
</ul>
<p>
However, EPA does not use EJScreen to identify or label an area as an "EJ community" or as the sole basis for agency-decision-making.
</p>
<p>
In contrast, the CEJST will help Federal agencies to identify disadvantaged communities that will benefit from programs included in the Justice40 Initiative.

Several states that have environmental justice screening tools. CalEnviroScreen is an environmental justice screening tool for California. Other states, like New York and Michigan have screening tools as well. The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) incorporates lessons learned from these efforts.
</p>
<p>
There is an important difference between state-based tools and the CEJST. State tools use data that may not be available for other states. The CEJST only uses data that are nationally-consistent and publicly-available.

Yes. The CEJST website has multiple ways to offer feedback on the tool.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The public can find census tracts that they are familiar with and send feedback about those tracts. That feedback is used to “ground truth” the tool. This helps the tool to better reflect the realities for communities.
