Judge Orders EPA to Release Climate Funds | Reno News

A federal judge has ordered the EPA to release $2.8 billion in climate grants that were illegally canceled last year, including $20 million earmarked for the Walker River Paiute Tribe in Nevada. The judge, who previously ruled the cancellations unlawful, now demands the EPA implement the programs by September 30, 2026 — the original deadline — without needing to rehire staff. Advocates say the EPA must stop stalling and follow Congress’s intent, marking a major victory for environmental justice and tribal communities relying on this funding.
