Robin Morris Collin, a law professor, has been named senior adviser to the EPA’s environmental justice efforts. The agency announced Tuesday.
Collin will now have direct access to Michael Regan (Environmental Protection Agency Administrator), and can counsel him on priority issues affecting low income communities of color as they arise.
She is likely to be at a fulcrum in the Biden administrations plan for 40% of the benefits from federal investments to disadvantaged neighborhoods, create more precise metrics for monitoring environmental justice performance, hold corporations responsible for historical pollution in environmental just areas.
