Protest on Trump Administration’s Changes to NEPA. February 25, 2020.
On February 25, 2020, environmental justice leaders protested outside of the Department of Interior after offering public comments on the Council on Environmental Quality’s proposed changes to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
NEPA requires federal agencies to identify and disclose the significant environmental and public health impacts of major Federal actions before those major actions are taken. The Trump administration’s proposed changes limit actions covered by NEPA and eliminate the requirements to analyze the cumulative effects – making it easier for corporate polluters to hide climate impacts.
