La injusticia de la política climática de Trump

The document details the Trump administration's systematic dismantling of U.S. climate and environmental justice policies, highlighting the rescission of the Justice 40 initiative and the freezing of funds from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It reports on the administrative leave of 168 EPA employees dedicated to underserved communities and the suspension of Community Benefit Plans by the Department of Energy. The guide provides resources for journalists to track the impact of these cuts on specific programs like Solar for All and the efforts of activists and legal experts to resist these changes.

• The Trump administration has taken several steps to reverse U.S. climate commitments and policies, including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, rescinding $4 billion committed to the United Nations climate fund, and appointing former chemical and oil industry executives to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• The administration is actively eliminating the Justice 40 initiative, a Biden-era program that aimed to direct 40% of federal climate program benefits to disadvantaged communities to address disparities in pollution and climate damage. The program had designated $600 billion across more than 500 programs from 19 federal agencies.
• The EPA has placed 168 employees who addressed pollution in rural, low-income, and communities of color on administrative leave, a move viewed as a precursor to the elimination of the Office of Environmental Justice.
• Despite court orders to release funds, the EPA has continued to withhold payments for various programs under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Simultaneously, the Department of Energy's acting secretary, Ingrid Kolb, reportedly ordered the suspension of work involving Community Benefit Plans and Justice 40 requirements for all contracts, including existing ones.
• Specific high-value programs facing funding uncertainty include Solar for All ($7 billion), Clean School Bus ($5 billion), and Climate Pollution Reduction ($4.3 billion).
