Environmental Protection Agency

Catholic Climate Covenant expresses profound disappointment in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) weakening of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS.) The revised standards, introduced on April 16, 2020, are a direct contradiction of EPA’s mission to “protect human health and the environment.”

Catholic Climate Covenant stands with the U.S. Catholic bishops and other Catholic organizations to express its disappointment with the Trump Administration’s decision to replace the national standard for the electricity sector with a weakened version.
