The Supreme Court Just Pushed Environmental Justice Even Further Aside

On June 27, the Supreme Court paused the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) "good neighbor" rule, which aimed to reduce interstate pollution by holding polluters accountable. This rule targeted emissions from upwind states that adversely affect air quality in downwind states, often burdening low-income and minority communities. The rule’s suspension is part of the court's trend of limiting regulatory powers of federal agencies. The decision has significant implications for environmental justice, as communities near industrial facilities, predominantly composed of people of color, face increased health risks. The ruling delays progress in addressing air pollution and its health impacts, perpetuating environmental and racial inequities.
