Trump officials bar US climate team from global talks
Briefly

A crucial UN climate assessment meeting is taking place in China without the participation of U.S. officials, a decision made by the Trump administration. Key figures such as NASA chief scientist Katherine Calvin were banned from attending, and a team meant to support climate assessments has been disbanded. The absence of U.S. representatives at the meeting, crucial for shaping global climate policy, has been termed a loss for international collaboration by experts. This reflects broader implications for global climate action amidst changing U.S. administration policies.
The US's absence from the IPCC meeting represents a significant setback for global climate efforts, illustrating the consequences of current U.S. administration's policy choices.
Li Shuo highlighted the importance of US involvement, stating that the absence "is obviously a loss for the international community," reflecting America's key contributions.
