The
Trump administration has halted the participation of U.S. scientists in key
U.N. climate change assessments, two sources familiar with the situation told
Reuters, part of its broader withdrawal from climate change mitigation efforts
and multilateral cooperation.
The
stop-work order affects staff members of the U.S. Global Change Research
Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who engage with a
key working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
It
means the U.S. will not attend a major IPCC plenary meeting in Hangzhou, China,
next week, to plan the seventh global climate assessment, said one of the
sources.
The
White House declined to comment and the State Department did not respond to a
request for comment.
"The
power of the IPCC is that governments, businesses and global institutions can
operate with shared conclusions. The U.S. being completely removed from that
process is concerning," said Delta Merner of the Union of Concerned
Scientists.
While
American scientists will be in attendance and continue to work on climate
research used by the IPCC, the absence of the U.S. in the IPCC process will be
felt.
The
Hangzhou meeting on Feb. 24-28 is expected to make a few key decisions
that will shape the outcomes of the next climate assessment, including around
the role of carbon removal and capture technology.
China's
foreign ministry said on Thursday it was unaware of the withdrawal of U.S.
participants.
The
U.S. is a co-chair along with Malaysia of a working group on climate
mitigation, or ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The
U.S. had also pledged around $1.5 million to support the IPCC, though that
money had not yet been appropriated by Congress.
Withdrawal
of the U.S. from the IPCC does not come as a surprise to climate scientists,
given President Donald Trump's moves to withdraw the U.S. again from the Paris
climate agreement, claw back U.S. global climate finance and sever
international partnerships on climate.
"This
would align with Trump's signals around climate action," said Kathryn
Bowen, a professor at Melbourne University and a lead author on the IPCC's
sixth assessment report published last year.
She
said the loss of federal support comes at a time of reduced funding for climate
science globally.
