The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)
Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) - beta version
opportunities for feedback are coming up:
The beta version of CEJST, creation directed by EO
14008, applies lessons learned from EPA’s EJScreen. Federal agencies will use CEJST to inform implementation
of Justice40 once revised guidance is issued after completion of the beta phase. The current version of the tool uses publicly available, nationally consistent datasets to provide socioeconomic, environmental, and climate information and identify disadvantaged
communities. FAQs here.
The CEJST tool supports a whole-of-government approach to advancing environmental justice. While CEJST is in beta, Federal agencies worked diligently to develop indicators appropriate for their programs and use in the interim. Check out the
Interim DOT Disadvantaged Communities
Definition and
Mapping Tool.
