Register for the Justice Week Webinar: Mapping Tools to Identify Underserved Communities
Register today for DOE’s Justice Week webinar: Mapping Tools to Identify Underserved Communities, scheduled for Thursday, September 15, 2022, from 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET.
The Justice40 Initiative supports the federal goal that at least 40% of the benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities. The potential benefits of DOE’s investments are wide ranging, including but not limited to better access to clean energy, cleaner transportation, cleaner air, and access to training for clean energy jobs. For those planning projects with an energy and environmental justice component, identifying disadvantaged communities and working with them on the project’s outcomes are critical. With so many mapping tools available, deciding which to use for what purpose can be confusing. Some mapping tools simply identify which areas are disadvantaged according to certain datasets, while others have more features, such as the ability to identify underserved communities with particular characteristics or run project suitability analyses. This webinar will provide overviews of the Energy Justice Mapping Tool, Electric Vehicle Charging Justice40 Map, Energy Zones Mapping Tool, and other federal tools.
Presenters:
- Margaret Smith, Technology Manager, Vehicle Technologies Office, U.S. Department of Energy
- Dr. Yan (Joann) Zhou, Principal Analyst and Interim Director of the System Assessment Center, Argonne National Laboratory
