"An appeals court has temporarily halted a lower court’s order that enabled the release of contested climate funds.
Earlier this week, District Judge Tanya Chutkan blocked the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from clawing back billions of dollars in climate funds that were given to climate finance organizations during the Biden administration.
Her order directed Citibank to release the funds to the green bank groups as soon as Thursday.
However, late Wednesday an appeals court issued a different ruling that prevented the funds from being released and instead maintained the status quo."
