If the EPA stops collecting greenhouse gas data from 85-90% of U.S. emitters, which stakeholders lose the most critical information for decision-making?

Question

Accepted Answer

Businesses, investors, state regulators, and communities all depend on EPA emissions data. Companies use it for sustainability reports required by shareholders and international partners. State environmental agencies rely on it to set local pollution limits. Investors assess climate risk using EPA datasets. Communities track nearby industrial emissions to advocate for health protections. Polluters gain opacity when the EPA stops collecting — everyone else loses decision-making power.
