Trump Administration’s “Project 2025” Plan Threatens Environmental System

The Trump team’s proposed policy blueprint, “Project 2025,” proposes drastic cuts to the EPA budget, weakening pollution regulation, and even privatizing the National Weather Service. “Project 2025” is systematically dismantling the U.S. environmental system through a three-pronged approach of executive orders, budget cuts, and regulatory rollbacks. The short-term effect is profit for fossil energy companies, but the long-term costs include higher pollution-related healthcare spending and increased climate disasters.
