Introducing the Community Guide to Cumulative Impacts – Union of Concerned Scientists

Health and environmental policies in the U.S. often fail to protect communities from pollution due to a fragmented approach that considers chemicals in isolation. The Union of Concerned Scientists and community organizations have developed a Guide to address cumulative impacts, which considers multiple environmental stressors. This resource aims to empower communities to engage in advocacy and policy discussions, providing tools and insights for addressing environmental justice issues and improving protections for overburdened communities.
