Appeals Court Rules Trump EPA Illegally Canceled $20B Climate Funding

The decision highlights legal conflicts over federal climate policy implementation and potential Supreme Court review.
Climate nonprofits can again access their federal funding more than a year after the Trump EPA ordered Citibank to freeze their accounts.
