Environmental litigation over fossil-fuel financing
Environmental organizations and several U.S. municipalities challenged OPIC and the Export-Import Bank over financing for fossil-fuel projects, alleging violations of the National Environmental Policy Act and harm to climate stability. The litigation was settled in 2009 and became part of criticism of the agencies' environmental practices.
