Understanding Disenfranchised and Underserved Communities in the U.S.

The document argues that achieving a just, decarbonized economy requires a cooperative, cross-sectorial approach to climate action that engages disenfranchised and underserved communities. It asserts that the most critical issues for these populations are those impacting health, economic wellbeing, and overall prosperity, resulting from compounding inequities and multifaceted environmental risks.

• A just transition to a decarbonized economy requires a cooperative, cross-sectorial approach to climate action that recognizes and engages the interests of disenfranchised communities.
• The most significant challenges currently facing disenfranchised and underserved populations are those that impact their health, economic wellbeing, and general prosperity, driven by compounding inequities and environmental risks.
