ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS SUE ADMINISTRATION FOR REMOVAL OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WEBSITES
Apr. 15, 2025
Agri-Pulse reports:
Environmental and science groups are suing the Trump administration over its removal of climate change and environmental justice information from websites.
The Sierra Club, Environmental Integrity Project, Union of Concerned Scientists, and California Communities Against Toxics joined the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. To view the lawsuit click here.
Unlike a previous lawsuit targeting USDA's removal of climate-related material, the latest lawsuit goes after the efforts at EPA, the departments of Energy and Transportation, the Center for Environmental Quality and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Among the tools removed: EJScreen and the Climate and Environmental Justice Screening Tool, which had been "widely used by regulators, academics, and advocates to identify communities that are disproportionately affected by pollution and climate change," a Public Citizen press release said.
