The Trump administration's recent actions have marked a departure from efforts to promote environmental justice, particularly for communities suffering from pollution. By dismantling critical policies such as the Justice40 initiative, which aimed to direct 40% of resources to underserved areas, Trump's team signaled a renewed focus on reducing governmental environmental regulations. Furthermore, the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement highlights a broader retreat from cooperative climate action and a shift away from addressing environmental disparities for low-income and minority populations. Experts warn that this could exacerbate existing health problems in affected communities.
