The UEI has brought together numerous community organizations that did not work together in the past. The goal of the UEI is to develop sustainable communities. Since 1995 we have assisted Hartford in organizing themselves around their critical environmental issues. In the past few years networks of community organizations have focused on addressing environmental issues. UEI has raised community expectations on environmental issues.
Citizens now have a thirst to know about the environmental impacts of pollution on their health.
UEI is currently supporting a comparative risk assessment project to identify and prioritize environmental issues in Hartford. This process will help the city and its residents to prioritize environmental issues in Hartford.
