- Plaintiffs are pressing the Trump administration in federal court to restore $3 billion in grant funding for environmental and climate justice programs benefiting underserved communities.
- A Sept. 30 deadline is approaching in the ongoing litigation over the Environmental and Climate Justice program.
- The Trump administration is defending against the lawsuit that targets grant funding it withheld or froze.
- The contested programs are designed to direct federal resources to underserved communities disproportionately affected by environmental and climate harms.
Why it matters: With $3 billion in climate justice funding and a Sept. 30 deadline in play, the court's ruling will determine whether underserved communities retain federal support for environmental programs or face a funding cliff before the new fiscal year.
