Environmental Justice Leadership Forum on Climate Change
The Environmental Justice Leadership Forum on Climate Change (The EJ Forum) is a national coalition of 41 environmental justice organizations (coordinated by WE ACT for Environmental Justice) working together to advance climate justice and impact policy to ensure the protection and promotion of vulnerable communities throughout the U.S. The forum was initiated in 2008 in response to proposed climate legislation around the Cap and Trade program. Among its principle for climate justice, The EJ Forum calls for equitable approaches to climate adaptation, including the right of people-of-color, Indigenous Peoples, and low-income communities, who are and continue to be disproportionately impacted by climate change, to shape the policy debate.
