Filling the US gap at science-policy bodies | Science
The Trump administration has withdrawn the United States from more than 60 international institutions, including critical science bodies, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) (1). This decision marks a notable retreat from the leadership role that the US has played in both bodies since their inception (2, 3). The federal abdication of commitment to these bodies will harm their work, prevent scientific advances, and degrade multilateral cooperation to address global crises. Scientists, universities, civil society, and philanthropies must fill the gaps to ensure continued US engagement with IPCC and IPBES.
