CalEnviroScreen 10th Anniversary

It has been 10 years since CalEPA and OEHHA released the first version of CalEnviroScreen, a groundbreaking environmental justice (EJ) mapping tool that identifies areas most affected by multiple forms of pollution. We would like to acknowledge the work that went into the project and celebrate the many people that informed the direction of CalEnviroScreen. Over the past decade, the tool has focused environmental protection and enforcement actions by combining a variety of data sources to highlight communities living at the intersection of pollution and poverty. It has become a powerful way for EJ communities to bring data-driven attention to issues they face and has helped direct over 6 billion dollars in California climate investments.
