In April 2024, the @AAMC Center for Health Justice conducted a national poll to gauge perspectives around environmental hazards, environmental injustice, and environmental justice (EJ). Poll results show that among U.S. adults, there is strong awareness (70%) that environmental hazards exist within the United States, though that awareness gradually declines at state (58%), city/town (50%), and neighborhood levels (41%). Additionally, only 44% of U.S. adults think that communities of color are more likely to be exposed to environmental hazards than white communities, despite significant evidence that they are.

I'm so excited to see the emphasis on #greensolutions to #climatemitigation and the recognition that disparities in tree canopy quantity and quality are an #environmentaljustice and #socialjustice issue. Purchasing and planting trees is only the beginning. Sustaining these Cooling Corridors also means: -building a seed supply and #plantnursery industry that can produce #native and regionally adapted saplings to fuel regional #biodiversity initiatives, -investing in #arborists, #urbanforesters, #treewardens, and #horticulturists who ultimately dictate the quality and quantity of our urban tree canopies, and - working with #architects #landscapearchitects, #gardendesigners, #landscapemanagers, and other professionals to develop a new native design aesthetic and technical specs to support long-lived canopies that age gracefully while minimizing long-term maintenance costs. We can do it!

💧 The water crisis in Flint highlights the importance of environmental justice.

Historically, Tribal communities have been among the most underserved groups when it comes to environmental justice support and funding. Now more than ever, Tribes access to federal programs and grants for environmental justice initiatives. Created by the The White House in tandem with the #30x30 targets, the #Justice40 program addresses environmental justice across the nation. For Tribal communities, this includes administrative burdens, eligibility requirements, competition, costs, and federal regulations.
