Center for Community Energy and Environmental Justice (CCEEJ)
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected 16 Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers (EJ TCTACs) in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy across the country. San Diego State University (SDSU) hosts the Center for Community Energy and Environmental Justice (CCEEJ) TCTAC for EPA Region 9, which includes California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaiʻi, Guam, American Samoā, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The CCEEJ is committed to partnering with community organizations to provide technical assistance that includes: conducting environmental and energy justice needs assessment and analyses, facilitating navigation of government systems, identifying grant opportunities, increasing grant success and administration capacity, supporting decision-making, and advancing community champions.
Pacific RISA serves as a CCEEJ network member linking Hawaiʻi, Guam, American Samoā, and the Northern Mariana Islands with the larger network (see partner list below).
Pacific RISA will work closely with the Energy Equity Hui, a grassroots collaborative of public, private, non-profit, and NGO stakeholders working to advance environmental and energy equity through dialog, training, policy, and collaboration. The Hui already runs equity trainings, energy and climate policy workshops, and workdays partnering with community-based organizations across Hawai’i. A dedicated Network Coordinator for the Energy Equity Hui will collaborate with local and regional partners to expand services, as well as identify regional best practices with partners at the University of Guam and work with relevant climate and equity groups in the Governor’s Resilience Office of American Sāmoa in later years of the project.
Please bookmark the CCEEJ website, as it will be the main hub for information and technical assistance when projects officially kick off!
Resilient and sustainable Pacific Island communities using climate information to manage risks and support practical decision-making about climate variability and change.
