Since 2019, Charleston Climate Coalition has conducted face to face interviews with residents in Charleston’s frontline communities. These interviews revealed a high level of exposure to a range of environmental justice and related harms.

​

This was the motivation for developing the Environmental Justice Profile (EJP), a scientifically-informed assessment and educational tool with which local communities can raise awareness about and assess their vulnerability and exposure to a host of environmental justice and related harms. These are harms that people have a right to be protected from and do not deserve to experience.

​

We do this work in partnership with other organizations to explain, explore, and quantify the harms to which these communities are exposed and/or vulnerable, and to raise broad awareness about these harms, so that we can work together to co-imagine an equitable path forward to building resilience in the Lowcountry.
