Trump EPA Removes Online Guidance for Companies on Scope 3 Emissions
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under President Trump has removed several online resources that provided guidance to companies on how to measure their Scope 3 emissions, which are carbon footprints from their supply chains. This action is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to roll back environmental regulations and mandates aimed at reducing pollution. According to the source, the administration is also deleting climate change-related data, tools, and information from federal websites. These resources have historically been relied upon by businesses, researchers, and other stakeholders to understand current and future environmental risks. Senator Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, criticized the move, stating that the EPA under President Trump is focused on reversing and deleting efforts to tackle greenhouse gas emissions rather than holding polluters accountable.
