Local Governments Poised to Take Center Stage in Health and Environmental Protection

Local Governments Poised to Take Center Stage in Health and Environmental Protection

With the incoming U.S. president vowing to implement the most extensive regulatory rollbacks in history, the focus now shifts to the pivotal role of local and state governments in safeguarding public health and the environment. While it is not uncommon for local authorities to step in when federal measures fall short, the current political climate underscores the necessity of this approach more than ever.

The structure of U.S. federalism has long mandated a collaborative relationship among local, state, and federal entities, with agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) traditionally tasked with ensuring baseline protections. However, as the new administration signals a departure from established environmental policies, local and state governments may find themselves at the forefront of health and environmental advocacy.

The urgency of this situation is amplified by ongoing crises related to health, biodiversity, and climate change. As the nation grapples with these pressing issues, local governments are expected to play an increasingly vital role in addressing the gaps left by federal inaction.
