Executive Summary 4

Key finding #1: Underrepresented populations disproportionately live in rural areas, work in agriculture, and lack access to critical public goods and services 5

Key finding #2: Underrepresented populations are less exposed to ambient air and water pollution, but may be more impacted by these, possibly due to... 6

Key Finding #3: Underrepresented populations are more exposed to-and more impacted by-land degradation and deforestation 7

But there is an exception to the deforestation relationship in Latin America, where deforestation on Indigenous lands is lower than on non-Indigenous lands 8

Key finding #4: Underrepresented populations have fewer options and face starker trade-offs between economic opportunities and environmental quality 8
