Description: The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) is a critical component of the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic commitment to addressing environmental justice. In Executive Order 14008 (EO 14008) on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (January 27, 2021), President Biden directed the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to develop a geospatial mapping tool to identify disadvantaged communities. These communities have been marginalized by society, overburdened by pollution, and underserved by infrastructure and other basic services. The CEJST uses publicly-available, nationally-consistent datasets to identify disadvantaged communities. The datasets are indicators of burdens that disadvantaged communities face. These burdens are related to climate change, the environment, health, and economic opportunity. The CEJST features a userfriendly, searchable map of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. Communities are considered disadvantaged if they are in census tracts that meet the thresholds for at least one of the tool’s categories of burden, or if they are on lands within the boundaries of Federally Recognized Tribes. Census tracts are the smallest geographic unit for which reliable, nationwide data exist to support the CEJST methodology. The tool utilizes the census tract boundaries from 2010 because many of the data sources in the tool use those boundaries. More information about the CEJST methodology, datasets, and downloadable files, can be found on the CEJST website at https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov. The CEJST Technical Support Document (TSD), also available on the CEJST website, provides additional details about the tool. On November 22, 2022, CEQ launched version 1.0 of the CEJST. Version 1.0 incorporates feedback CEQ received on the beta version of the tool. The beta version of the tool was released on February 18, 2022, with support from the U.S. Digital Service and in collaboration with other Federal agencies and departments, in order to solicit feedback from Federal agencies, Tribal Nations, State and local credit governments, Members of Congress, environmental justice stakeholders, and the public.
