Created in 1993, the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC) provides independent and consensus advice on integrating environmental justice into the programs and practices of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 2023, the agency formed the NEJAC Cumulative Impacts Workgroup to research, consider, and answer questions on cumulative impacts. For this effort, the NEJAC was able to draw on a wide variety of sources, including the activities of community groups and state and local governments that have driven many of the innovations and advancements in cumulative impact work. In October 2024, the workgroup submitted its report to the EPA, "Reducing Cumulative and Disproportionate Impacts and Burdens in Environmental Justice Communities." That document lays out recommendations for how the EPA can better address and assess cumulative impacts in its practices, programs, and policies. The NEJAC recommendations on cumulative impacts are organized into eight themes including: Overarching Recommendations for Cumulative Impact Assessments; Best Practices for Defining Cumulative Impacts; A Road Map for Accelerating Innovative Approaches to Cumulative Impacts Implementation; Principles to Guide the Practice of Cumulative Impact Assessment; Validating and Incorporating Lived Experience into Assessments and Processes; Supporting Comprehensive, Solution-Oriented, Community-Driven Programs; Incorporating Colonialism, Racism, and Other Structural Drivers into Cumulative Impact Assessments and Implementation; and Promoting Climate Justice. This presentation will describe the last four themes in the recommendation document.
