"The protections require federal agencies to evaluate the climate impacts of the projects they are working on, as well as encouraging them to work with communities to 'mitigate or avoid environmental harms by analyzing common sense alternatives.'

"The new guidance also 'restores the ability of Federal agencies to tailor their NEPA procedures ... to help meet the specific needs of their agencies, the public, and stakeholders.'"
