Across the country, communities on the frontlines of climate change and toxic pollution are leading the way toward a cleaner and healthier future for all.
The Platform for a Just Climate, a project of the Center for Earth, Energy & Democracy (CEED), is a national coalition working to build power for environmental justice with frontline communities and the organizations supporting them.
The Platform for a Just Climate (formerly known as the Equitable & Just National Climate Platform/EJNCP) works to ensure those most harmed by climate change and the fossil fuel economy can actively participate in developing, winning, and implementing environmental policies that address community needs. Together, we hold a commitment to advocate for:

Environmental justice organizations and coalitions from across the country are arriving in Washington, DC to stand alongside Rep. Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07), Rep. Summer Lee (PA-12), & Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) as they announce the formation of the Environmental Justice (EJ) Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Coalition of environmental justice networks representing millions of frontline and fenceline communities demand justice: Revoking the Endangerment Finding and vehicle standards is unacceptable and we will keep fighting for our rights.
We’re starting 2026 with renewed purpose and a new identity: Equitable & Just National Climate Platform (EJNCP) is now the Platform for a Just Climate!
Washington, D.C. (December 17, 2025) – The House of Representatives is moving to gut community protections under the guise of…
From day one, the Trump administration launched an all-out assault on Environmental Justice, unleashing corporate polluters’ toxic agenda on our communities. The administration attacked the endangerment finding rolled back virtually all environmental justice policies and investments.
We know that corporate polluters and their allies in Congress and the White House will not succeed in silencing our movement or winning their toxic agenda in the long term. Because we are still here, still united, still leading & still resisting.
On January 20, join us as we speak out together across the country, united by a shared narrative. Together, we will share the impacts of these rollbacks one year on and disrupt the administration’s dehumanizing narratives by telling the truth about environmental justice. Learn more »
The Platform for a Just Climate (formerly known as Equitable & Just National Climate Platform/EJNCP) refers both to our founding document declaring our collective policy agenda for a just and equitable climate future, and our national coalition working to advance this agenda. This Platform was launched by Center for Earth, Energy and Democracy (CEED), the Center for American Progress (CAP), and NRDC and co-created with a coalition of environmental justice and national organizations in October 2018. Our Platform is being relaunched in 2026 with new illustrations by artist Lynda Grafito:
The Platform for a Just Climate (formerly known as Equitable & Just National Climate Platform/EJNCP) is a national coalition that was formed in 2018 to address the historic exclusion of environmental justice groups from national climate change policy discourse. Environmental justice groups and national environmental organizations from across the country united around a shared commitment to ending the environmental racism that has left economically disadvantaged communities, Indigenous communities, Black communities, and communities of color exposed to disproportionate levels of toxic pollution and bearing the brunt of the climate crisis.
Led by our 18 core coalition members, the Platform for a Just Climate (formerly known as Equitable & Just National Climate Platform/EJNCP) has been signed on to by our network of over 300 organizations across the country. We invite all who align with our vision to join us in fighting for the bold and just climate future that our communities deserve.
