Arctic Report Card Cut by Trump Admin | Anchorage News

The Trump administration has shut down federal funding for the Arctic Report Card — NOAA’s decade-long, peer-reviewed snapshot of rapid Arctic changes — marking a major blow to climate science coordination. Though data collection continues, NOAA’s withdrawal signals a broader pattern of undermining climate research, including removing climate info from its site and slashing key programs. Scientists warn this move weakens global understanding of Arctic impacts, which ripple worldwide — especially for Indigenous communities and ocean ecosystems. While data remains public and some researchers are exploring new sponsorship (including from the University of Alaska Fairbanks), the episode underscores how political shifts threaten vital scientific infrastructure at a time of accelerating environmental change.
