Constructing Valid Geospatial Tools for Environmental Justice: Report Release Webinar

August 19, 2024

About

Decades of research have shown that disadvantaged communities exist at the intersection of high levels of hazard exposure and poverty. Geospatial environmental justice (EJ) tools, such as the White House Council on Environmental Quality-developed Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST), are designed to integrate different kinds of health, social, environmental, and economic data to identify disadvantaged communities and to aid policy and investment decisions that address the pervasive, persistent, and largely unaddressed problems associated with environmental disparities in the United States.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is pleased to release its consensus study on Constructing Valid Geospatial Tools for Environmental Justice. Join us for our public dissemination.

About

Michaela Saisana is the head of the Monitoring, Indicators and Impact Evaluation Unit, and she leads the European Commission’s Competence Centre on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards (COIN) at the Joint Research Centre in Italy. She works on the development and validation of monitoring tools capturing multidimensional phenomena that feed into EU policy formulation and legislation. She has assessed, upon request of their developers, over 100 composite indicators which were produced by international organizations and world-class universities. She will be speaking with the committee on the topic of composite indicators, alternate ways to construct them, how they can be validated, and considerations for balancing complexity and usability.

Representing Lived Experience in Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) - Workshop

Materials

EST Workshop Public Briefing Book

About

This workshop of the Committee on Utilizing Advanced Environmental Health and Geospatial Data and Technologies to Inform Community Investment will explore how well data used within the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) represent lived experiences of different kinds of communities across the Nation. CEJST, a geospatial tool, was developed by the White House Council of Environmental Quality to identify communities experiencing climate and economic burdens. Workshop participants will discuss (a) how information obtained using CEJST reflects conditions within communities, (b) gaps in the data used within CEJST, and (c) how cumulative burdens are experienced and represented in CEJST. The information gathered during this workshop will inform the study committee’s deliberations and recommendations regarding a future data strategy for CEJST.
