This was the second part of our training series, focusing on providing Environmental Justice communities with the tools to effectively engage with government at all levels. This training focused on how Environmental Justice is considered in the regulatory processes across federal agencies and ways that communities can engage the process. Participants learned how rules and regulations are created by different agencies to protect the environment, public health, and public welfare.
This training is part of a series, presented by the Institute for Policy Integrity, that focuses on providing Environmental Justice (EJ) communities with the tools to effectively engage with government at all levels. With increased focus on EJ in government decision- and grant-making at the federal and state levels, many communities are facing questions of if, when, and how to effectively engage with government on issues related to energy, climate, and environmental protection. Attendees do not need a background in EJ law or policy.
