洛杉矶和纽约都试图种植一百万棵树，优先考虑服务不足的社区。本文探讨了 MillionTreesLA 和 MillionTreesNYC 如何定义环境正义并评估其进展。虽然文献使用统计数据来衡量分配公平，但这些计划缺乏可量化的基准，导致结果不明确。虽然只有 MillionTreesNYC 成功种植了一百万棵树，但它并没有在很大程度上优先考虑服务不足的社区。相比之下，MillionTreesLA 可能优先考虑服务不足的社区，但其记录不够详细，无法确定。城市必须将理论与实践联系起来，采用统计基准并改进数据收集，以监测环境正义的进展。
Los Angeles and New York each sought to plant a million trees, prioritizing underserved neighborhoods. This paper examines how MillionTreesLA and MillionTreesNYC defined environmental justice and assesses their progress. While the literature measures distributive equity using statistics, these programs lacked quantifiable benchmarks, leading to ambiguous outcomes. While only MillionTreesNYC successfully planted a million trees, it did not prioritize underserved neighborhoods to a significant degree. In contrast, MillionTreesLA may have prioritized underserved neighborhoods, yet its records were insufficiently detailed to know for sure. Cities must connect theory and practice, adopting statistical benchmarks and improving data collection to monitor progress toward environmental justice.
