racial1 social1 and economic injustices and face a disproportionate burden of adverse human health or environmental effects1 a higher risk of intentional1 unconscious1 and structural discrimination1 and disproportionate energy burdens4 7#d7 ,environmental justice communities have been made more vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to a combination of factors1 particularly the legacy of

stakeholders in government decision making as the ,united ,states builds its climate resilience4 7#e7 ,potential environmental and climate threats to environmental justice communities merit a higher level of engagement1 review1 and consent to ensure that communities are not forced to bear disproportionate environmental and health impacts4 7#f7 ,the burden of proof that a proposed action will not

of a prosperous and vibrant pollution-free economy4 7#aj7 ,a fair and just transition to a pollution-free economy is necessary to ensure that workers and communities in deindustrialized areas have access to the resources and benefits of a sustainable future4 ,that transition must also address the economic disparities experienced by residents living in areas contaminated by pollution or environmental degradation1 including access to jobs1 and members of those communities must be fully and meaningfully involved in transition planning processes4 7#aa7 ,it is the responsibility of the
