Environmental Justice Clause Samples
The Environmental Justice clause establishes a commitment to ensuring that environmental policies and actions do not disproportionately impact marginalized or vulnerable communities. In practice, this clause requires parties to assess the potential effects of their activities on different populations, often mandating community engagement, impact assessments, or mitigation measures when projects may affect disadvantaged groups. Its core function is to promote fairness and equity in environmental decision-making, addressing historical inequalities and preventing new instances of environmental harm to at-risk communities.
