Washington won an order in federal court today blocking the Trump administration’s termination of more than $9 million in funding that would help the state build resilience to the growing hazards posed by climate change.
“Washingtonians are already contending with the devastating effects of climate change – including the deadly heatwave in 2021,” Washington Attorney General Nick Brown said. “We’re grateful for this win in court protecting congressionally authorized funds that will help communities on the frontlines of climate change.”
