Mapping the Federal Retreat on Climate Action
The Trump administration is rolling back climate science and protections just as climate impacts intensify. Cuts to NOAA threaten weather forecasts and research, a disputed DOE report downplays greenhouse gases, and EPA moves to rescind the Endangerment Finding that underpins U.S. emissions rules. These federal retreats put communities at risk — including here in the Bay Area — but local leaders and residents can step up to defend science and push for action.

Seizing the Mantle in 2025: Turning Climate Setbacks Into Climate Action
The landscape of climate action feels like it’s shifting beneath our feet. From federal leadership relinquishing leadership on climate science and clean energy, to attacks on climate science, the undercutting of the Biden-era EPA Endangerment Principle, and the massive energy consumption of growing AI data centers, where do we stand, how will local communities, and the most vulnerable communities be impact, and where do we make a stand? The answers aren’t always clear. But what is clear is that our local networks, agencies, and grassroots movements are more important than ever. Climate Reality Bay Area (CRBA) is spotlighting four campaigns that invite reflection and action — and we’d love for you to be part of the conversation.
