Trump Administration skips UN IPCC meetings on climate action

The Trump Administration decided not to participate in the upcoming United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meetings, which are crucial for addressing global climate issues. This decision marks the US as the only country refusing to engage in the discussions. It follows a series of actions including the US’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the reduction of international climate programs. Prominent officials have made statements that downplay the impacts of climate change, contrary to scientific consensus.
