Connecticut Develops Screening Tool to Advance Environmental Justice

To understand which communities are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection teamed up with UConn to form the Connecticut Institute for Resilience & Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) and create an interactive map of the state. By incorporating both environmental burdens and demographic indicators the tool, CT EJScreen, will help state leaders better serve overburdened communities and ensure climate policymaking incorporates environmental justice.
