EPA and DOJ Target Climate Nonprofits Amid Legal Battles with Banks
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are intensifying their scrutiny of climate-focused nonprofits, amidst ongoing legal battles with major banks over their environmental practices. The EPA's recent establishment of a $20 billion Green Bank has stirred controversy, with former New York Governor Lee Zeldin and others criticizing it as a 'slush fund' for liberal agendas. This fund aims to support clean energy projects but has sparked debates on its effectiveness and allocation.
Simultaneously, the DOJ has demanded that climate nonprofits provide detailed information or face court appearances, signaling a broader crackdown on environmental advocacy groups. This move comes as Citibank faces a lawsuit from a coalition named Climate United, accusing the bank of misleading the public about its environmental commitments.
The legal and political pressure on both banks and nonprofits underscores a contentious period in U.S. environmental policy. Critics argue that these actions may hinder progress on climate change, while supporters believe they are necessary to ensure transparency and accountability in environmental initiatives.
