The opinion, handed down just hours ago, restricts EPA’s ability to limit dangerous climate pollution from existing fossil-fuel-fired U.S. power plants – one of the largest sources of climate-destabilizing pollution in the world.
The one piece of good news is that this ruling does recognize EPA’s authority and responsibility to limit climate pollution from cars and trucks, oil and gas development, and industrial sites.
EDF’s legal team will continue to vigorously defend EPA’s authority to protect people and communities from dangerous climate pollution in these areas, while our sister organization, EDF Action, pursues legislative solutions to the challenges created by today’s Supreme Court ruling.
The best way to support a strong EPA and defend tough climate protections is by donating to our Climate Legal Defense Fund.
From researching legal precedent, to drafting rigorous legal briefs and motions, to building a broad and diverse coalition of allies, bringing a successful lawsuit is an incredibly labor-intensive effort.
Your contribution will provide urgently needed resources to strengthen lawsuits in defense of climate action, including those already in the courts and working their way up to SCOTUS.
And thanks to our $2-for-$1 Summer Match, your gift to our Climate Legal Defense Fund will be tripled in value—and the more you give, the more matching dollars you'll unlock.
