The Trump administration's rapid withdrawal from global climate initiatives is jeopardizing the development of a significant scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). With over 190 countries meeting in Hangzhou, China, to discuss the report's timing and content, the absence of U.S. delegates, including key scientists, raises concerns about the thoroughness of the assessment. These reports, issued every five to seven years, provide crucial data on greenhouse gas emissions and are vital for adherence to the Paris climate agreement's goals regarding emissions reduction. Without U.S. participation, the process may face substantial delays.
The Trump administration's abrupt retreat from global climate action is threatening to delay a pivotal scientific report that can be used by countries to shape their responses to rising temperatures.
The U.S. delegation was prevented from attending the IPCC meeting by the Trump administration, blocking vital contributions to the critical assessment being developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
