NOAA to end coordination of annual Arctic Report Card
The Trump administration has decided to end federal support and coordination for the annual Arctic Report Card, a flagship scientific document produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the past two decades. NOAA confirmed that while the agency will no longer facilitate the coordination of the 2026 report, all data historically contributed by the agency will continue to be collected and remain publicly available.
Scientists and former officials have expressed concern over the decision, describing it as a blow to American scientific leadership and environmental intelligence. Experts warn that discontinuing the report creates a significant gap in the ability to track rapid climate changes in the Arctic, which is warming significantly faster than the global average. The 21st edition of the report is already in progress, but researchers are now facing uncertainty regarding how to proceed without federal logistical and coordinating support.
