EPA defines Environmental Justice (EJ) as the "fair treatment for people of all races, cultures, and incomes, regarding the development of environmental laws, regulations, and policies."

EPA responded by developing the Environmental Justice Strategy which focuses on the Agency's efforts in addressing these concerns.
