Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people in environmental decision-making, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income. This concept emphasizes that everyone should have equal access to a healthy environment and protection from environmental hazards, highlighting the need for equitable distribution of environmental benefits and burdens across communities. It connects with regulatory frameworks that govern environmental control, the role of tribes in managing their environmental resources, and the particular challenges faced by Native American communities.
