Examining Project 2025: Implications for Climate Accountability

The unveiling of Project 2025 has sparked concern within the climate and environmental community, especially in light of the recent presidential election results and the upcoming leadership changes at the Environmental Protection Agency. This comprehensive 920-page document outlines a conservative agenda that threatens to roll back progress on climate action, environmental protection, and social justice in the United States. While the proposals put forth in Project 2025 are alarming, it is important to remember that the fight for climate accountability is not solely dependent on the actions of the White House.

Undermining Scientific Integrity

One of the key components of Project 2025 is its assault on scientific research and data, a continuation of the anti-science stance seen during the previous administration. The plan seeks to discredit the work of scientific bodies like the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). By casting doubt on established science, Project 2025 not only distorts policy but also perpetuates misinformation, hindering informed decision-making on climate issues.

Promoting Fossil Fuels

At its core, Project 2025 aims to prioritize fossil fuels in U.S. energy policy, seeking to dismantle initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy sources. By equating “energy security” with fossil fuels, the agenda ignores the detrimental environmental and public health impacts of continued reliance on these sources. The close ties between the fossil fuel industry and political leadership, as seen in past appointments and statements, raise concerns about the prioritization of industry profit over environmental protection and human rights.

Reshaping the Judiciary

Project 2025 also focuses on reshaping the judiciary to favor deregulation and limit climate-related rulings. By appointing judges inclined to curtail regulatory powers, the agenda threatens to undermine the legal basis for climate litigation and accountability. This shift away from regulatory accountability could shift the burden of environmental protection onto state policymakers and communities, potentially hindering efforts to hold responsible parties accountable for environmental harm.

Challenges in Climate Litigation

The Department of Justice’s involvement in climate litigation is crucial, as seen in recent cases against major oil and gas companies. However, under the Trump administration, the DOJ’s approach to environmental cases limited the role of science and aligned with industry interests, hindering accountability efforts. Project 2025 aims to deprioritize cases related to climate and environmental protection, further complicating efforts to hold polluters accountable.

Looking Ahead

While Project 2025 presents significant challenges to climate accountability, it is not a definitive roadblock. The resilience and determination of individuals, advocates, and communities can drive progress and uphold climate protections at the state level. Despite potential obstacles from federal policies, climate litigation remains a dynamic field with opportunities for innovative legal strategies and multi-layered approaches to accountability. By leveraging state resources, engaging in strategic litigation, and promoting clean energy solutions, we can continue to advance climate justice and build a sustainable future for all.
