PHILADELPHIA. PA – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Adam Ortiz visited the University of
Virginia campus in Charlottesville, Virginia, to engage with thought leaders
and researchers and learn about the university’s innovative projects
addressing environmental challenges.    
Ortiz met with UVA’s Environmental Institute staff and students to gain
insight into the cutting-edge research projects and have in-depth discussions
that provided additional perspectives on environmental justice, climate equity
and economic prosperity across the Mid-Atlantic Region.  
“Learning about the important research work ongoing at UVA’s Environmental
Institute is key to achieving our mission,” said EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional
Administrator Adam Ortiz. “Protecting our planet is a shared
responsibility. Engagement opportunities like this visit lead to a deeper
understanding of environmental issues and strengthen our capability to develop
effective solutions that help all communities.”    
Discussions between Ortiz and the UVA faculty, researchers and students
included findings on climate change and rising sea levels along coastlines,
programs affecting tribes and indigenous peoples, the effects of green energy
in rural Virginia, and a roundtable discussion on the region’s efforts and
research opportunities.    
This visit highlights the EPA’s dedication to collaborating with academic
institutions to encourage dialogue and information sharing that helps protect
human health and the environment.   
“UVA’s Environmental Institute is very pleased to host EPA Regional
Administrator Adam Ortiz, who is a leader in innovative climate
solutions,” said Karen McGlathery, UVA’s Environmental Institute
Director. “UVA has exciting frontier research that addresses some of the
most pressing environmental challenges our region faces. This conversation is
important as we consider how UVA research leads the way for solutions that
engage diverse stakeholders on issues ranging from coastal resilience to
environmental justice.”  
Before the visit concluded, Ortiz also met with students to discuss EPA
efforts, answer questions and promote career opportunities with the
agency.
