Trump administration pulls support for annual Arctic environmental report
The move by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is the latest government rollback of climate science activity.
The Trump administration has withdrawn its support for the annual Arctic Report Card, a vital source of environmental updates for scientists and the public. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Tuesday that it would no longer facilitate the production of the 2026 report, though it will continue to collect and make publicly available the data historically contributed to the product.
The Arctic Report Card has tracked crucial changes in the Arctic's atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, and tundra since 2006, highlighting the region's rapid warming due to climate change.
