S3:E6: The Road to a Just Climate Future in Washington State

In April 2021, Washington State passed the Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act, a landmark piece of environmental justice legislation that defines environmental justice, establishes an Environmental Justice Council, requires the use of an environmental health disparities map to analyze cumulative impacts, and builds community input into the decision making process. Dan and Emma discuss how the provisions within the HEAL Act can address environmental disparities and progress over the past year with Dinah Wilson, Equity and Engagement Manager for the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, and Guillermo Rogel Jr., Legislative and Government Affairs Advocate at Front and Centered - two organizations instrumental in informing this law.
