- Initiative by American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society.
- Replaces terminated US National Climate Assessment funding.
- Paper provides a roadmap for future contributions.
New Climate Collection Initiative
The American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society launched the "US Climate Collection" to address the void left by the terminated US National Climate Assessment. This initiative invites researchers to publish peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, which are then centralized for future report-writers.
First Paper Published
The first paper, authored by 149 researchers, has been added to the US Climate Collection. Many of these authors previously worked on the US National Climate Assessment. The paper is published in journals operated by both the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society, and it outlines a roadmap for prioritizing future contributions to the collection.
Background on Federal Report Termination
The Trump administration previously cut funding for the US Global Change Research Program and removed hundreds of contributing authors, effectively shutting down work on the next US National Climate Assessment. Past reports were also taken offline, despite these reports being legally mandated.
Purpose of Assessment Reports
Assessment reports, such as those produced by the US and the IPCC, synthesize thousands of scientific papers to provide summaries of existing evidence. These reports serve as a quick reference for non-scientists and are heavily cited by researchers. They are also intended to inform planning and policymaking for entities like cities and farmers.
