GM-21-x03: Environmental Justice Technical Workshops for the Gulf of Mexico Region

of Mexico with BOEM’s first wind energy lease auction scheduled for December 2022. Thus, the project’s purpose is  to inform our  EJ assessments for both conventional and  renewable energy development in the Gulf Region. Also, the White House Environmental Justice Executive Council (WEJEC) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) have indicated that EJ analyses should be expanded, when appropriate, to include such issues as social and economic equity and climate change. Thus, the project aims to explore effective ways for BOEM’s GOMR to address these issues under EJ. In sum, the purpose of this project is to support BOEM decisionmaking regarding EJ-related processes, determinations, and outreach.
