Utilizing Advanced Environmental Health and Geospatial Data and Technologies to Inform Community Investment

Completed

Topics

Executive Order 14008 established the Justice40 initiative and directed the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to develop a whole-of-government approach to environmental justice. CEQ created a Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool that will be used to identify communities eligible for benefits from federal investments in critical sectors. This NASEM committee will analyze how environmental health and geospatial data can inform this screening tool. The committee will scan existing tools, evaluate current data availability and quality, note key data gaps, and discuss approaches to process, integrate, and analyze these data.
