EPA Announces Online Collection of Environmental Justice Resources 
The Environmental Justice Clearinghouse will help the public access tools and
resources as part of President Biden’s ambitious environmental justice
agenda
LENEXA, KAN. (APRIL 23, 2024) – Today, April 23, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) announced the Environmental Justice Clearinghouse, a
first-of-its-kind online collection of resources related to environmental
justice. Directed by President Biden’s Executive Order on Revitalizing Our
Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All, the Environmental
Justice Clearinghouse will help the public access federal and non-federal
resources online as part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s ambitious
environmental justice agenda.
“Delivering on the Biden-Harris Administration’s ambitious environmental
justice agenda requires shared dedication to building strong relationships and
solution-oriented programs. The Environmental Justice Clearinghouse is a
transformative resource guide built to help us accomplish our agency-wide
environmental justice goals,” Theresa Segovia, Principal Deputy Assistant
Director for The Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights.
“Having an online, easily accessible library of information will ensure that
resources from across the country are at the fingertips of all environmental
justice stakeholders and advocates. And it will only be made stronger with
suggestions from the American people.”
EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights will
continue to add information to the clearinghouse on a rolling basis and
welcomes input and any submissions from the public for review and potential
inclusion.
The preliminary resources listed on the Environmental Justice Clearinghouse
were submitted by agencies from across the federal government, including
funding opportunities, screening and mapping tools, and technical assistance.
The Environmental Justice Clearinghouse features searchable categories to
simplify results for the public to ensure a more efficient and accessible
process for accessing information related to environmental justice. 
“President Biden tasked the entire federal government with breaking down
barriers to resources and information that help communities pursue
environmental justice. EPA’s Environmental Justice Clearinghouse will be a
helpful online tool that compiles multiple sources of information so that
everyone interested in environmental justice will be able to find resources on
one website,” said Dr. Jalonne L. White-Newsome, Federal Chief Environmental
Justice Officer for the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Visit EPA’s website to view the Environmental Justice Clearinghouse or
submit a potential resource.
