Multiple climate organizations are taking legal action against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Citibank over the freezing of billions of dollars intended for green initiatives. A coalition of clean energy groups has filed lawsuits claiming the Trump administration improperly halted access to $20 billion in funds passed into law by Congress. The lawsuits allege the funding freeze has severely impacted nonprofit organizations reliant on these grants for their operations. Prominent lawmakers, including Whitehouse, Schumer, and Markey, are demanding explanations from Citibank regarding the funding situation. Critics label the funding freeze a politically motivated tactic, asserting that it undermines the financial support for climate initiatives put in place during the Biden administration.
