What’s the Buzz – The Latest in Environmental Justice in New England
Event Details
NECA’s Environmental Committee invites you to a half day webinar on the morning of July 21, 2021 to discuss Environmental Justice in New England. The first panel of New England state government representatives will discuss their state’s perspectives on EJ and the second panel of practitioners, including an industry representative, a stakeholder, a consultant, and a high-ranking agency official charged with diversity / inclusion / equity (DIE) implementation will discuss how EJ is being incorporated into project development and review. The focus is on the fact that while the concept of EJ has been around since the early days of NEPA (early 1970s), recent changes at the federal and state levels is causing an evolution in how EJ is addressed in some environmental reviews and approvals of projects.
