1/ NEW: @brady_dennis @JohnMuyskens and I have spent months chronicling the Trump administration’s environmental and energy rollbacks. Check out our new tracker, which shows how Biden is reversing Trump’s legacy while building his own. http://wapo.st/39Ubi2F 
2/ Trump and his deputies weakened or eliminated more than 170 environmental safeguards, and had more than 30 more underway by the time he left office. Biden has already overturned 2 of them, and is targeting another 58.
3/ Air pollution and greenhouse gas emission policies top the list in terms of the total number of completed actions, at 64, with drilling and extraction coming in at a close second, at 61. Another 27 rollbacks affect wildlife, and 23 relate to infrastructure and planning.
4/ For each policy, we provide details about the policy, whether it’s in litigation, and how hard it will be to overturn. Some can be abolished with a stroke of a pen; others will take years. Some, like those nullified under the Congressional Review Act, might never be reversed.
5/ We will keep updating in the weeks and months ahead, and add new Biden environmental and energy policies, too. It is the unraveling of the Great Unraveling. And with the help of editors like @TrishWbelli @LyndseyLayton and @monicaulmanu we will chart it every step of the way.
