# EPA Seeks Review of Climate Grant Clawbacks

The Environmental Protection Agency has asked the Supreme Court to review a lower-court decision that prevents the Trump administration from clawing back billions of dollars in federal greenhouse-gas-reduction grants issued under former President Joe Biden. The request does not itself authorize recovery of the funds, but the litigation leaves green banks, lenders, and grant recipients facing uncertainty about the grants’ funding continuity and potential exposure.

- Grant recipients and financing organizations should assess how possible clawbacks could affect project funding assumptions and related financing plans.
- Because the EPA is seeking Supreme Court review, the lower-court ruling remains central to the funding outlook; organizations with affected awards should track the Court’s consideration of the request.
