Marginalized communities refer to groups of people who experience social, economic, and political disadvantages, often due to systemic inequalities and discrimination. These communities typically include racial and ethnic minorities, low-income populations, indigenous peoples, and other disadvantaged groups who have limited access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making processes. Understanding their challenges is crucial in addressing environmental health equity, as they are disproportionately affected by climate change and environmental hazards.
