What Trump’s budget cuts could mean for the environment
- President Donald Trump proposed a 2025 budget and policies that would cut billions from environmental programs, including water funds and national parks.
- These cuts follow the administration's first 100 days of executive orders and rollbacks targeting climate initiatives, energy regulation, and environmental justice.
- The EPA has decided to terminate 781 environmental justice grants awarded during the Biden administration and is reallocating over 450 employees, while also advancing policies that support fossil fuel expansion and seabed mining.
- The proposal calls for a $2.46 billion decrease in funds allocated to state revolving loan programs for water quality improvement, along with $646 million in reductions to FEMA's non-disaster federal emergency grant programs.
- If enacted, these measures could reduce federal support for climate action, public health, and conservation, while Congress will ultimately decide on the final budget.
