Briefings
The Trump administration terminated US climate reporting by cutting funding for the Global Change Research Program and removing authors from the National Climate Assessment. In response, the American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society launched the US Climate Collection to host peer-reviewed papers from researchers, including 175 contributors. This initiative differs from the Global Change Research Program by publishing papers in journals rather than coordinating a single report. The first paper in the collection was added in September 2026, marking the start of a new effort to fill the void left by the terminated work.
Key points
- The Trump administration terminated the US National Climate Assessment by cutting funding for the Global Change Research Program and removing hundreds of contributing authors.
- The US Climate Collection was launched by the American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society to host peer-reviewed papers from researchers, including 175 contributors.
Context and limitations
The evidence covers the termination of the US Climate Assessment and the launch of the US Climate Collection, but does not include details on the specific content of the first paper, the timeline of the authors' work, or the long-term impact of the initiative.
