Divided federal appeals court says Trump administration was wrong to terminate climate funds

A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. ruled that the EPA cannot terminate $20 billion in clean energy grants provided to green groups during the Biden administration. The court found the Trump administration was wrong to terminate these climate funds, restoring a preliminary injunction from District Judge Tanya Chutkan. However, nonprofits will not access funds immediately, as the decision is paused for several days to allow the EPA to petition the Supreme Court for intervention.
