Executive Summary

US climate policy is moving sharply toward deregulation, fossil fuel expansion, and withdrawal from international climate commitments. Federal efforts to weaken EPA authority, cut clean energy support, and halt offshore wind are meeting legal and state-level pushback.

Key Points

  • The Trump administration is actively dismantling federal climate policy through treaty withdrawals, regulatory reversals, and cuts to clean energy programs.
  • EPA authority is a major fault line, with efforts to revoke the endangerment finding threatening the legal basis for greenhouse gas regulation.
  • Offshore wind, renewables, and electrification incentives are losing federal support, creating direct pressure on deployment pipelines and investment signals.
  • The administration is favoring oil, gas, and other fossil fuel priorities, including expanded production and permitting rollback efforts.
  • Courts, states, scientists, and NGOs are pushing back against several of the reversals, especially where funding cancellations or EPA actions exceed legal limits.
  • The policy shift is also affecting adjacent climate-adjacent systems such as heat pump deployment, because federal incentives and regulatory support are weakening.
  • The coverage is strongly current and institutionally focused, with relatively little historical drift beyond comparison to prior Biden-era climate policy.
