CARB Environmental Justice Blog

  CARB’s Office of Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs, and Border Relations (OEJTB) has launched the revamped Environmental Justice (EJ) Blog using a new Substack platform. The EJ Blog aims to streamline access to various efforts and activities on CARB’s webpage and other related efforts to present a space with relevant content in the areas of EJ and equity.
