References to “Climate Change” Removed from EPA’s International Website

In late 2017, various changes were made to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s International Cooperation website, which promotes its work with global and bilateral partners and provides those partners with information and resources. Most notably:

• in mid-October 2017, EPA removed a page titled “International Grants and Cooperative Agreements,” which provided information about financial assistance available to international and tribal partners; and
• in mid-December 2017, EPA removed a page titled “International Priorities,” which provided information on climate change and five other areas of focus for EPA.
