Cosequences of Environmental Rollbacks Will Have a Wide Range of Impacts

Dr. Julie A. González, Environmental Justice Postdoctoral Fellow at CECE, was interviewed by La Opinión, Los Angeles’ leading Spanish-language news outlet, to discuss the consequences of recent environmental policy rollbacks under the current administration.
The conversation highlighted how weakened protections exacerbate environmental injustices in Latino communities, while also threatening national public health infrastructure and economic resilience. Dr. González underscored the connection between environmental policy, climate-driven health risks, and structural inequities faced by frontline populations.
As part of her role at CECE, Dr. González advances research and public engagement at the intersection of environmental policy, climate justice, and community health, a focus reflected in her recent interview with La Opinión addressing the real-world impacts of environmental rollbacks on vulnerable populations.
