Despite the Trump administration’s abrupt termination of the National Nature Assessment, researchers are determined to release the report. This first-ever assessment, which was 80% complete, aimed to explore how nature loss affects climate change and humanity. The project, initiated by former President Joe Biden in 2022, was supposed to fill significant knowledge gaps and support the development of nature-based solutions for climate goals. The report was expected to undergo external review in 2025 and be finalized by late 2026. Although the project’s webpage was deleted, the consensus among volunteer authors remains strong, emphasizing the report’s importance. The reasons for the report’s cancellation remain unclear, with the White House offering no specific explanation.
