One-pager: The 2020 Census and the Environment

This one-pager from Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality and partners is a great resource for insights into the 2020 Census and the Environment: How Census Data Are Used for Environmental Justice & Climate Action.

Census data and census-derived data help us understand the impacts of the climate crisis, environmental hazards, and government policies on communities.
Policymakers, advocates, and other data users rely on census data to help enforce equitable protections from environmental hazards, including those in the Clean Air Act.
These data guide investments in communities and programs that mitigate causes of the climate crisis, build resiliency to harmful climate impacts, and reduce exposure to environmental hazards.
