NOAA Withdraws Support for 2026 Arctic Report Card
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will not provide direct support for the 2026 Arctic Report Card. This decision impacts the annual assessment of climate changes in the Arctic, the fastest-warming region globally.
Researchers are urgently seeking alternative methods to publish their findings. They aim to ensure public access to vital information concerning environmental shifts.
