DOGE cuts cost tribes $470M in climate funding
Original: DOGE cuts cost tribes $470M, gutting funding for climate projects
Federal budget cuts spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency have stripped an estimated $470 million from Native American tribes, eliminating funding for climate resilience and environmental projects. Tribal leaders say the reductions undermine efforts to prepare for floods, wildfires and droughts on tribal lands, raising concerns about the federal government's treaty and trust obligations to Indigenous communities.
Why now: The scale of the cuts and their impact on tribal climate programs are drawing attention from Indigenous and environmental advocates.
