US EditionHouse Republicans pitch 23 percent cut to EPA
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The proposed 23% EPA funding cut includes a nearly 25% reduction to State Revolving Funds, lowering clean water program support to its lowest level since 2008, lawmakers said.
- On Tuesday, House Republicans advanced a fiscal year 2026 bill proposing a 23% cut to EPA funding and reduced Interior Department resources.
- The bill follows months of partisan conflict and reverses Biden-era protections while including 72 policy riders restricting EPA actions on PFAS and environmental regulations.
- The legislation cuts funding for water infrastructure, Superfund cleanup, environmental justice, and clean energy incentives that were expanded three years ago, risking delayed progress on climate goals.
- Environmental experts warn that rising summer temperatures, up 1.2°C over 30 years, have destabilized glaciers like Perito Moreno, while climate data suppression obstructs public preparedness and policy development.
- This bill's cuts and deregulatory measures could weaken pollution oversight, increase health disparities, and hinder U.S. climate resilience amid accelerating climate impacts and extreme weather events.
