Description: CalEnviroScreen 2.0 is a screening methodology that can be used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by, and vulnerable to, multiple sources of pollution. Developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), on behalf of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), the score includes multiple measures of both pollution burdens and sensitive population characteristics. The CalEnviroScreen 2.0 report and supporting documents are available at: http://oehha.ca.gov/ej/ces2.html
Description: Disadvantaged communities in California are specifically targeted for investment of proceeds from the State’s cap-and-trade program. These investments are aimed at improving public health, quality of life and economic opportunity in California’s most burdened communities at the same time they’re reducing pollution that causes climate change. CalEPA relied on the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen), a tool that assesses all census tracts in California to identify the areas disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple sources of pollution.
