The Environmental Justice Primer for Ports features case studies that reflect a range of port experiences, including ports with extensive community engagement experience and those just starting to interact with nearby communities. Section A provides port decision-makers with an overview of environmental justice principles and how they apply within the context of port operations and decision-making. Section B provides a step-by-step guide to enhance community engagement, build and strengthen relationships, and improve quality-of-life outcomes for near-port communities.
This guide for decision-makers at ports, related facilities and regulatory authorities complements the Ports Primer for Communities and the Community Action Roadmap, which provide guidance for near-port communities seeking to participate in port planning and decision-making. While this guide is focused on ports, it could also be used for other goods movement activities and sectors.
