Environmental Justice Index (EJI): Community Engagement Workshops

Join the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR) and the US Department of Health And Human Services Office of Environmental Justice for a series of online workshops on the Environmental Justice Index (EJI), the first national, place-based tool designed to measure the cumulative impacts of environmental burden through the lens of human health and health equity.

At each workshop, the public, environmental justice advocates, health professionals, and subject matter experts on environmental justice will have an opportunity to

• learn more about the EJI,
• learn how to use the EJI to identify and map areas most at risk of health impacts from environmental burdens, and
• provide feedback to help us to improve the EJI.

Registration:

Registration opens on March 16, 2023. Attendees can choose to sign up for one or more workshop sessions. Spots are limited and will be available on a first come, first-served basis.
