  • Snow Season Is Here

    As the climate has changed, so have snowfall patterns across the United States. Since the first half of the 20th century, snowfall has decreased in many parts of the country.

Understanding and addressing climate change is critical to EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment. EPA tracks and reports greenhouse gas emissions, leverages sound science, and works to reduce emissions to combat climate change. Learn more about the objectives of the EPA Climate Change website.

EPA is committed to advancing the goals of environmental justice for all Americans, including those historically marginalized, overburdened, underserved, and living with the legacy of structural racism. Additional web content about climate change and environmental justice is currently under development.
