Environmental organizations are preparing to push back against the incoming Trump administration, which is expected to focus on expanding oil and gas drilling and repealing or reducing some Biden-era legislation. Trump’s Cabinet picks and previous actions suggest a pro-drilling agenda. Environmental groups are gearing up for legal fights and soliciting donations to fund those efforts. Trump’s previous administration took actions weakening environmental policy, and experts predict a similar agenda this time around. Environmental groups are also bracing for potential attacks on protected federal lands like Bears Ears National Monument. Despite challenges, some environmental policies such as clean energy investments and clean water protections may prove difficult for the new administration to dismantle, given their bipartisan support and economic benefits. Overall, environmental organizations are prepared for a high volume of legal battles and are mobilizing resources to resist expected policy changes.
