Definitions

Equity: A state, quality, or ideal of being fair and just. The principle of equity acknowledges groups that have systematically and historically been excluded or marginalized and fairness regarding these conditions is needed to balance opportunities for all groups.

Environmental Justice: The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. This includes using an intersectional lens to address disproportionate environmental and health impacts by prioritizing highly impacted populations, equitably distributing resources and benefits, and eliminating harm.
