This week, we need to talk about climate solutions in a different way. As you’ve probably heard, the federal government has taken an axe to funding and programs related to climate change and environmental justice — from scientific research to clean transportation projects to efficient household appliances — and cut staff across a range of agencies. 

As climate work all over the country faces setbacks, Grist wants to help capture the stories of what is being lost. Check out some of Grist’s previous coverage of how federal cuts have impacted communities and climate progress: 

• Read: about a Madison, Wisconsin, nonprofit that was one of many organizations that has lost funding through the Department of Agriculture’s Patrick Leahy Farm to School program
• Read: about a program providing free food boxes to those facing food insecurity in Duffield, Virginia, that shuttered in the face of the USDA’s funding freeze
• Read: about a Chicago nonprofit that awarded grants for tree-planting in low-income communities, and then had to tell the recipients to stop their work after an executive order froze funding obligated by the Inflation Reduction Act
• Read: about the Trump administration’s plans to dismantle the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, uncovered in an internal FEMA memo obtained by Grist
• Read: insights from fired Forest Service employees about their work and what its loss means for public lands
