National Wildlife Federation hosting “Mapping Climate & Environmental Justice: Lessons Learned from State Tools” Monday March 15

Please join the National Wildlife Federation and a panel of experts at Mapping Climate & Environmental Justice: Lessons Learned from State Tools, the first in a two-part webinar series. Federal policymakers are giving increasing focus to environmental justice mapping tools, recognizing their potential in furthering environmental and climate justice. These tools can reveal what kinds of communities are at risk from environmental hazards, and the compounded pollution and climate burdens communities face. These tools can also help policymakers understand where environmental justice communities are located, and where climate impacts are being felt first and worst—information that should help inform the ambitious climate priorities of the Biden-Harris administration.

This webinar, on Monday March 15 from 4-5 p.m. ET, will highlight lessons learned from existing state-level mapping efforts to inform these current national discussions. Hear from experts involved in pioneering state EJ mapping tools in California, Maryland, Michigan, and Washington:

• Paul Mohai, University of Michigan

• John Faust, California Environmental Protection Agency

• Esther Min, University of Washington

• Sacoby Wilson, University of Maryland; Community Engagement, Environmental Justice & Health Lab
