The Trump administration made a notable absence at this week's major climate conference in Brazil. According to reports from CBS News, the Trump administration sent nobody to the UN global climate summit, leaving California Governor Gavin Newsom to criticize the decision from Belém. This marks a significant shift in US climate diplomacy as the international community gathered for COP30, the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference.

The Belém Climate Summit took place on November 6th and 7th, bringing together world leaders and government ministers to discuss climate action and sustainable energy transitions. According to reporting from COP30.br, the summit convened in the Brazilian Amazon, marking the first time a COP has been held in a rainforest. The event served as a precursor to the larger COP30 conference, which ran from November 10th through 21st in the same location.

Globally, the climate action landscape shows mixed progress. According to the 2025 Yearbook of Global Climate Action from the UNFCCC, renewable energy capacity has more than doubled over the past decade, and forest finance has quadrupled. However, significant challenges remain. Grid investment remains critically low, deforestation figures have worsened, and building emissions have increased despite efficiency improvements, according to the yearbook's assessment.

The summit's agenda included several major initiatives aimed at addressing climate change. These included the launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Fund, which aims to attract investment from tropical forest countries. Brazil also introduced a Call to Action on Integrated Fire Management and the Belém Commitment on Sustainable Fuels, according to information from COP30.br.

Prior to the main conference, youth climate advocates gathered for COY20, the Conference of Youth, held from November 6th through 8th in Belém. According to event documentation, participants worked to develop the Global Youth Statement, which serves as unified input from young people into the UNFCCC process.

The conference comes at a pivotal moment, marking ten years since the adoption of the Paris Agreement. According to the UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell in the yearbook's foreword, the Global Climate Action Agenda has matured from a platform for mobilization into an instrument for implementation. The focus now centers on bringing together the COP process with the real economy to accelerate climate implementation efforts worldwide. The absence of US representation at this critical juncture reflects shifting priorities within the current American administration on the international stage.

Across the United States this week, climate change has dominated headlines as national policy undergoes a period of profound uncertainty. As reported by Nature, the upcoming COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, is set to convene world leaders on November tenth, but notably, the United States government will not be sending high-level representatives. This follows President Donald Trump’s January announcement that the country will again exit the Paris climate agreement, a move that becomes official in January twenty twenty-six. Trump’s administration has shifted focus back to fossil fuels, rolling back federal incentives for clean energy and casting doubt on climate science. Princeton University researchers estimate that these policy changes could cause U S greenhouse gas emissions to rise by as much as four hundred seventy million tonnes annually over the next decade compared to the path set by the previous administration. The United States remains the world’s second largest emitter, accounting for approximately eleven percent of global emissions. Despite these setbacks, U S emissions are projected to continue declining, largely thanks to ongoing investments in renewable energy and state-level policies, although the pace of decarbonization is likely to slow under the current federal stance.

At the international level, world leaders are gathering for COP30 in the heart of the Amazon, placing a strong focus on preserving critical ecosystems and addressing the impact of human activity on climate. According to the United Nations, climate impacts globally are intensifying, with severe weather, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss affecting millions. The United Nations also recently warned that current climate pledges, including those from the United States, are insufficient to significantly alter projections of global warming.

In Europe and elsewhere, governments are strengthening climate policy, even as they face rising political resistance. Oxford University highlights that while U S policy whiplash has introduced real challenges, global trends continue to point towards a clean energy transition, supported by whole-of-economy plans and increasing public demand for action.

States like California are continuing to implement aggressive emissions reduction targets regardless of federal rollbacks, focusing on electric vehicles and renewable energy. Meanwhile, in cities across the Midwest and East Coast, communities have again faced costly extreme weather events, renewing calls for urgent infrastructure resilience and adaptation funding.

Patterns are emerging in the United States and globally: national level policy can shape the speed of transition, but local action and market momentum toward renewables continue even amid political uncertainty. As COP30 begins, the absence of U S leadership at the highest levels is widely discussed, but analysts agree the determination to address climate change remains strong among other nations, local leaders, and the private sector. Global efforts may be tested as new pledges are debated, but the focus is clear: climate change is driving both hardship and innovation, pressing governments, communities, and industries in the United States and beyond to confront a rapidly changing reality.

The United States is experiencing unprecedented climate shifts that are reshaping weather patterns and environmental conditions across the nation. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the country just experienced its warmest autumn on record, with meteorological autumn from September through November marked by persistent above-average to record-warm temperatures across much of the nation. As of November 2024, the contiguous U.S. year-to-date temperature was 3.3 degrees Fahrenheit above average, making it increasingly likely that 2024 will rank as one of the nation's warmest years on record.

The warm autumn came with a dangerous trade-off. Extremely dry weather accompanied the above-average temperatures, fueling dangerous wildfire conditions particularly in the Northeast. A very dry start to the season brought drought conditions to more than half of the lower 48 states by late October. However, several significant rainfall events in November provided some relief, reducing overall drought coverage by nearly 10.5 percent and suppressing wildfire danger.

Despite this improvement, drought remains a widespread problem heading into November. More than half of the contiguous United States continues to grapple with drought conditions, with the Northeast currently experiencing some of the worst impacts. Moderate to severe drought has expanded in the Northeast, with portions of southern New Jersey now facing extreme drought conditions. Overall, more than 87 percent of the lower 48 states continue to experience abnormally dry conditions, marking the most extensive coverage area ever recorded by the U.S. Drought Monitor since it began tracking data in 2000.

On the renewable energy front, there is some positive news. The United States generated record solar and wind energy in 2024, producing enough to power the equivalent of more than 70 million average American homes. This represents significant progress in transitioning away from fossil fuels.

Extreme heat events continue to shatter records. Denver experienced its hottest November high on record when temperatures climbed to 83 degrees on Sunday afternoon at Denver International Airport, beating the previous November record of 81 degrees set on November 27, 2017.

Scientists attribute these intensifying weather patterns to human-amplified climate change. Extreme heat is strongly linked to climate change, and more frequent and intense extreme heat events can worsen the effects of drought. These trends underscore the interconnected nature of modern climate challenges, where record warmth, severe drought, and unprecedented weather events are becoming the new normal for American communities.

Over the past week, the United States has faced growing concerns and deepening debates over how to address climate change, both at home and on the international stage. The most urgent domestic news includes increasing scrutiny over Project 2025, a policy blueprint promoted by a major right-leaning think tank linked to Donald Trump. According to the Mississippi Free Press, Project 2025 would roll back federal initiatives designed to combat climate change, dismantle environmental regulations, and halt the transition away from fossil fuels. Notably, the plan proposes repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, a landmark law that has created hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs across the United States. Environmental experts widely warn that abandoning these efforts could accelerate warming, jeopardize coastal communities, and worsen extreme weather, including the deadly storms seen this year.

Recent hurricanes Helene and Milton, which struck the U S southeastern states in late September and early October, brought catastrophic flooding and a death toll topping two hundred forty, making them among the deadliest storms in recent years. The Mississippi Free Press highlights new research linking these storms’ intensity to a warming climate, emphasizing how extreme weather is already impacting American lives and infrastructure. Scientists caution that such hurricanes are likely to become even more frequent and severe without aggressive reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Meanwhile, federal forecasts from the National Weather Service indicate above normal temperatures are likely for much of the southern United States heading into winter. La Nina conditions are present and may result in increased dryness in the southeast, as well as ongoing drought west of the Mississippi River. At the same time, wetter conditions are expected across much of the northern Plains and into the Great Lakes region. Continued oceanic heatwaves have raised concerns about long-lasting impacts on atmospheric patterns and extreme cold outbreaks over the next few months, with forecasters monitoring for potential shifts as the winter progresses.

On the global stage, preparations are in full swing for the thirtieth United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP thirty, happening this November in Belem, Brazil. This summit comes at a critical moment after widespread disappointment at the previous event over weak climate finance agreements. Organizers and climate advocates are pushing for much stronger commitments and actions in the months ahead, and observers warn that any weakening of U S climate policies could reverberate worldwide, undermining collective efforts to reduce emissions.

Taken together, these stories underscore how debates over policy and the increasing toll of extreme weather are driving urgent discussions about the future of climate action in the United States and beyond.

This week, the impacts of climate change have become even more visible across the United States. According to reporting from CNN Weather, a series of tropical systems have threatened both the Southeastern coastline and Bermuda, with storms Imelda and Humberto delivering dangerous surf, flooding, and creating severe weather risks from Texas to Florida. In Florida specifically, forecasters from The Washington Post note a new tropical disturbance that could dump over a foot of rain in some areas, raising concerns about tornadoes and flooding, and illustrating how warmer ocean waters are fueling more frequent and intense storm activity. Meanwhile, in the western United States, attention is turning to wildfire risk as the Geneva Association holds its annual Climate Change and Environment Conference. Experts are focusing on the need for risk-informed land use planning, innovations in firefighting, and insurance strategies to boost resilience, particularly as wildfires worsen each year due to higher temperatures and prolonged drought.

On the political front, Inside Climate News reports that looming government funding uncertainties threaten agencies responsible for environmental monitoring and disaster preparedness, a concern compounded by reports from The Washington Post that recent administrative actions have canceled over seven billion dollars in clean energy projects and placed new restrictions on the use of climate terminology in official communications. The New York Times has detailed efforts to expand fossil fuel development, including opening millions of acres of federal land to mining, moves that critics warn could undermine progress toward energy transition and climate mitigation.

Despite these setbacks, there are signs of progress and determination at the state level. At Climate Week in New York City, the US Climate Alliance, a coalition of over two dozen states, announced that its member states have reduced their collective greenhouse gas emissions by twenty-four percent below 2005 levels, even as their combined economic output grew by more than a third. This suggests that cutting emissions while growing the economy remains possible and is already underway in many parts of the country.

Globally, Sweden received attention after scientists reported the complete disappearance of eight glaciers in the Kebnekaise mountains over just one summer. This dramatic loss underscores the accelerating pace of Arctic and subarctic ice melt, which in turn drives sea level rise and extreme weather across the world. Meanwhile, the upcoming COP30 summit in Brazil is drawing significant international focus, with world leaders expected to address strategies on climate mitigation, youth engagement, and the redirection of climate finance toward community-led solutions.

Patterns emerging from these developments highlight the stark contrast between local progress and national policy turbulence in the United States, as well as the urgency for international collaboration to address both the causes and consequences of a rapidly changing climate. With severe weather events increasing and political debates intensifying, the need for resilient infrastructure, equitable adaptation measures, and strong climate policies has never been clearer.

This week, climate change policy and its impacts dominated headlines across the United States. According to the Friends Committee on National Legislation, on October 2, the administration announced seven point six billion dollars in cuts targeting clean energy projects, a move that could threaten the future of multiple initiatives from the South Texas Direct Air Capture Hub to Louisiana’s Project Cypress Air Capture Project and multi-state efforts like the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub. Energy advocates warn these cuts not only endanger local economies and job growth in states like Texas, Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, but also hinder the nation’s ability to transition to more sustainable energy sources. Further compounding climate-related risks, the Federal Emergency Management Agency confirmed it had withheld nearly eleven billion dollars in disaster payments from more than forty-five states. The hardest hit states, including New York, California, Florida, and Pennsylvania, already face increased rates of climate-driven disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires.

Despite these funding challenges, the clean energy sector achieved a global milestone. Energy think tank Ember published a report stating that, for the first time, renewables like wind and solar generated more electricity than coal worldwide in the first half of this year. However, as the global community accelerates its investment in green energy, the United States risks falling behind, with a study showing that ninety-nine percent of coal plants there are more costly to operate than renewable alternatives.

The ongoing government shutdown has highlighted contrasts in federal priorities. According to reporting from Guy On Climate, while over seven hundred thousand federal employees are furloughed, staff responsible for permitting fossil fuel extraction remain active. This week, the government approved the expansion of a copper mine in Utah, prepared to open two hundred fifty thousand acres in Wyoming and Nebraska for oil drilling, and moved forward with a coal lease sale for Montana’s Powder River Basin. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency is advancing plans to allow increased mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants.

Ecological impacts are also becoming more evident across the country. The Alaska Beacon reported a typhoon disaster in Western Alaska, raising concerns about intensified coastal erosion, melting permafrost, and the future of indigenous communities. In the Pacific Northwest, environmental groups and the state of Oregon filed a court injunction in an effort to protect salmon populations on the Columbia River, warning that without urgent changes to river management, the species could become extinct.

Globally, the urgency to act continues to grow, with carbon dioxide levels reaching historic highs, as reported by the World Meteorological Organization. Meanwhile, international attention turns to the COP30 climate summit set for November in Brazil, where nations will confront the widening gap between climate goals and current realities. The past week has underscored that, despite progress overseas, climate action in the United States faces policy setbacks and rising environmental stakes.

The United States continues to confront the intensifying impacts of climate change with new data showing billion-dollar climate disasters now tracked by Climate Central, a nonprofit scientific group, rather than federal agencies. This shift comes as the country experiences a notable increase in extreme weather events, including historic floods, persistent droughts, and devastating wildfires. The leaf-peeping season in the Northeast began with muted colors and earlier leaf drop, a direct result of weeks of ongoing drought according to ABC News. Scientists attribute these unusual fall conditions to shifting rainfall patterns and higher temperatures that are becoming more common across the region.

On a national scale, meat consumption in the United States has been analyzed for its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Recent research cited by ABC News quantifies the carbon footprint of different meats, underlining the role that dietary choices play in the country's overall emissions. This focus on consumer decisions accompanies widespread calls for policy action as extreme weather becomes more severe. The U.S. Climate Alliance recently announced at Climate Week New York City that its member states collectively cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 24 percent relative to 2005 levels while growing their economies by over a third, suggesting that climate action and economic growth are not mutually exclusive challenges.

Internationally, patterns continue to emerge linking climate conditions to ecosystem changes. For the first time, mosquitoes were discovered in Iceland, a country previously considered too cold to support them. ABC News reports that the arrival of mosquitoes in the garden town of Kjós signals rising regional temperatures and previously unseen migration patterns of insect populations. Globally, the United Nations confirmed that atmospheric carbon dioxide reached record levels last year, warning that this trend is directly linked to the increase in extreme weather events and more precarious conditions for wildlife such as the snow leopard.

The climate crisis remains a central focus for upcoming global events, particularly as the world prepares for the COP30 climate summit in Brazil this November. This summit will be held in the Amazon region, where advocacy groups hope for robust climate finance and stronger commitments following disappointment at last year’s COP29. In parallel, gatherings like the World Congress on Agroforestry in Rwanda and Panama’s biodiversity meetings are spotlighting ways smallholder farmers and natural systems can adapt through regenerative approaches.

In the United States and beyond, recent climate developments reveal emerging patterns of ecological disruption and underscore growing public demand for urgent action. Researchers are warning that hotter nights and amplified rain events in the Northeast and Texas could become the new normal, making preparedness and adaptation a national priority. As the climate crisis continues to affect daily life, policymakers, scientists, and communities are urgently seeking solutions to build resilience against intensifying environmental threats.

Recent climate change news in the United States reveals several emerging patterns and troubling circumstances. In the past week, heat waves have persisted across the southern states, with the U.S. Gulf experiencing summer-like conditions even in mid-October. According to updates on social media from independent climatologists analyzed by Climate and Economy, minimum nighttime temperatures along the Gulf Coast, the Caribbean, and the Mexican Pacific have remained above eighty degrees Fahrenheit, breaking records for the hottest October nights ever recorded. The Guardian has highlighted the deadly consequences of this prolonged heat, citing recent autopsies from Maricopa County, Arizona. In one case, a young waitress died from heat exposure, an incident marked as accidental but emblematic of a larger trend: Americans are increasingly vulnerable to extreme heat events, which are killing more people each year but are often underreported in official statistics.

Not only is heat an issue, but drought continues to deepen from Missouri northeastward to the Great Lakes. Agriculture.com reports that fields in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio are turning dangerously dry, with the U.S. Drought Monitor revealing worsening drought levels across these regions. This persistent dryness is elevating risks to crop yields, soil health, and regional food systems. Complementing these developments is record warmth in the Great Lakes. MLive details that Lake Michigan’s surface water is now over six degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the historical average for October. Scientists are concerned that such anomalies could impact winter weather and lake ecology, possibly leading to more severe ice loss, changes in fish habitats, and altered precipitation patterns in the Midwest.

While there have been some policy moves at the federal level, ABC News recently reported significant controversy regarding a Department of Energy climate change report. More than eighty-five climate scientists criticized the DOE’s findings, calling them biased and error-prone and arguing that they conflict with the broader consensus established by the U.S. National Climate Assessment and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The resulting lawsuit underscores a growing tension between scientific evidence and policymaking, especially as climate impacts become more pronounced and demand urgent action.

On the global stage, notable climate events continue outside the United States. Northern China has faced rainfall three to seven times higher than normal, leading to severe flooding, while southeastern China and East Asia are enduring extraordinary heat, with thousands of temperature records broken. Off the coasts of China and South Korea, one of the world’s most intense marine heat waves has emerged, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has classified as extreme. These international developments echo the urgent climate patterns seen within the U.S., highlighting a broader, interconnected trend toward more severe and frequent climate disruptions worldwide.

Climate change has once again taken center stage across the United States with several new reports highlighting its immediate consequences and the challenges it presents. According to a recent investigative summary by ABC News, a new report from The Commonwealth Fund judges climate change as a public health emergency, noting a clear link between rising global temperatures and heat-related deaths. The report outlines that Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona are now the most vulnerable states to extreme heat, with Arizona experiencing more than one hundred and forty days in 2024 where temperatures exceeded one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Vermont, New York, Washington, New Jersey, and Maine are cited as the best prepared to deal with climate-related health threats, largely due to robust clean energy policies and lower emissions. The study also finds that poorer air quality, driven by more frequent wildfires and higher temperatures, is a growing threat especially in Arizona and California, where residents now face persistent health risks from smoke and airborne particulates.

Compounding these environmental threats, the United States is in the midst of a federal government shutdown. Carbon Brief reports that this shutdown has severely curtailed climate research activities as nearly seven hundred fifty thousand federal employees have been placed on unpaid leave, halting new research grants and pausing activities at agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, the US Geological Survey, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The capacity for federal climate science has been dramatically weakened at a time when forecasting, research, and long term planning are most needed.

Local communities are also experiencing the compounding impact of extreme weather events, from hurricanes to drought-driven wildfires. ABC News highlights that these disasters not only destroy infrastructure and homes, but also disrupt supply chains for medical goods far beyond the affected regions, as seen when flooding took out critical manufacturing facilities in Western North Carolina.

Meanwhile, across Michigan and much of the United States, universities and schools are participating in Global Climate Change Week, an initiative led this year by Grand Valley State University. The goal is to boost public awareness, educate communities, and inspire new commitments at the local level for climate adaptation and solutions.

Globally, preparations are underway for the major 2025 United Nations COP thirty summit in the Brazilian Amazon, where governments and civil society will once again gather to seek actionable solutions to the climate crisis. The sense of urgency for coordinated climate action has grown, as underscored by the persistent rise in carbon dioxide levels and warning signs from the scientific community, including new findings on mass coral die-offs. The momentum for collective change builds both in the United States and around the world as communities confront both current dangers and the pressing need for effective, resilient responses.

In the United States, shifting climate patterns are again front and center as the National Weather Service reports that the Mid-Mississippi Valley, the Ohio Valley, and the southern Great Lakes are experiencing drier-than-normal conditions with precipitation deficits causing a flash drought in these areas. This dryness, combined with ongoing soil moisture shortages, is expected to persist into October, increasing the odds for warmer than normal temperatures across much of the eastern United States. The central and southern plains, along with parts of the Rockies, also face persistent drought conditions. While there is hope for minor drought improvement in small pockets of the Central and Northern Plains, much of the region is forecast to see continued dryness due to the transition to a weak La Niña pattern this autumn. The National Weather Service underscores that these conditions are expected to stick around through at least December, and only by spring 2026 is it likely that climate patterns may shift back to what is known as an ENSO neutral period

Around the country, academic and policy communities have been mobilizing in response. Just this week, Grand Valley State University in Michigan led the newly expanded Global Climate Change Week, an annual event engaging colleges, schools, and community groups nationwide and globally. This year’s summit focused on education, climate solutions, and the role of local communities in driving adaptation strategies. At the same time, the National Academies in Washington, D.C., hosted a multiday event centered on the ongoing energy transition in the US—an effort seen as essential for mitigating climate change and revitalizing the economy

Looking internationally, attention is building for major global events. While the thirtieth international United Nations COP30 climate summit will take place in November in the Brazilian Amazon, pressing forward on finance and policy, other events are already spotlighting adaptation. In New Zealand, the Adaptation Futures Conference is convening scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to share what’s working to build resilience in the face of warming global temperatures

Meanwhile, global climate events are amplifying calls for urgent action. Public sentiment remains high, with up to eighty-nine percent of the world’s population wanting their governments to do more to address the climate crisis, according to Global Landscapes Forum. In the United States, universities and advocacy groups are responding with record numbers of events during Climate Change Awareness Week, aiming to leverage public interest and professional expertise to accelerate local solutions

A pattern is emerging: persistent drought across vital US agricultural zones, warming trends that are forecast to continue through winter, and intensified focus from science, policy, and education leaders. With La Niña conditions expected to play a driving role through early 2026, the combination of extreme weather risk, scientific mobilization, and an engaged public is shaping both the challenges and potential solutions to climate change in the months ahead

In the past week, the United States has witnessed significant developments in climate change policy, science, and energy trends. According to ABC News, a new study from the Center for Conservation Innovation at Defenders of Wildlife has determined that climate change is now the top driver of biodiversity loss in the U.S. Researchers found that ninety-one percent of species listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act are threatened primarily by climate shifts, surpassing the effects of pollution, land conversion, and overexploitation. Most imperiled species face multiple threats, with marine life being especially vulnerable to combined pressures. The report underscores that protecting biodiversity and healthy ecosystems is essential to shifting the nation’s climate trajectory.

Amid intensifying weather events, government scientists reached a milestone in forecasting hurricane paths this year. The National Hurricane Center set a new record in track forecast accuracy during the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, providing crucial data for preparedness. However, as ABC News also notes, recent staffing and budget cuts have strained essential meteorological services, including weather balloon launches and Hurricane Hunter flights, which collect key storm data. Long-term, these cuts could reduce the accuracy of predictions and weaken storm response efforts.

Energy news from the Climate Action Alliance of the Valley points out several contrasting trends. U.S. solar-powered electricity has surged by over thirty percent and wind generation grew by nearly fourteen percent during July. This happened even as the current administration dialed back support for renewables and significantly increased fossil fuel subsidies, which now surpass thirty-one billion dollars per year. In one notable event, a federal judge ruled that the Revolution Wind offshore project near Rhode Island can resume after being halted previously, reflecting the mixed signals and legal challenges in federal energy policy.

At the same time, major climate events are drawing global attention. The upcoming COP30 summit, set in Brazil’s Amazon region and widely anticipated to be the most important international gathering of the year, will address the urgency for action as the world confronts unprecedented floods, droughts, and wildfires. Think Landscape Forum highlights that up to eighty-nine percent of global citizens now want stronger policy interventions.

Finally, the broader American landscape reflects uncertainty in climate education. Science.org reports that U.S. science teachers are scrambling to adapt as government climate science resources are withdrawn, relying increasingly on nonprofit efforts to fill the gap. These shifts in education, policy, and public awareness converge as climate change remains a core challenge demanding immediate scientific, political, and social innovation.

Climate change continues to make headlines across the United States and worldwide. In the U.S., solar-powered electricity experienced a significant increase of over thirty percent, while wind energy grew by almost fourteen percent in July, despite challenges from the Trump administration. In Virginia, the focus is on meeting power demands exacerbated by the rise of Artificial Intelligence while reducing carbon emissions. Virginia's Governor, Youngkin, has been advocating for a major wind farm project off the state's coast, even though it faces opposition from the Trump administration.

A notable development in renewable energy involves GiveSolar's initiative to install solar systems on ten thousand Habitat for Humanity homes by two thousand thirty. However, the U.S. federal government still provides substantial subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, totaling nearly thirty-one billion dollars annually.

Globally, climate events are gaining momentum. The thirty-first World Health Summit in Berlin will address global health challenges, including those exacerbated by climate change. The upcoming sixteenth World Congress on Agroforestry in Panama City will focus on sustainable agro-ecosystems. The thirtieth COP climate summit in Belém, Brazil, promises to be a pivotal moment for climate action, with widespread participation expected.

Climate change is also affecting global wind patterns, intensifying storms and wildfires. In the U.S., extreme wildfires have doubled over the past two decades, posing significant risks to human health and property. The Global Climate Change Week, set to take place October thirteen to nineteen, will see thousands of events worldwide aimed at raising awareness and driving climate action.

The recent climate change news highlights the urgent need for coordinated global efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change, even as the U.S. faces internal challenges in advancing renewable energy policies.

Record-breaking heat and weather extremes have made climate change a major news focus in the United States and around the world over the past week. According to the United Nations, 2024 was the hottest year ever measured, with global temperatures averaging one point six degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. In the United States, this persistent heat has left communities across the South and West grappling with prolonged droughts, while major cities have experienced long stretches of oppressive temperatures, prompting health warnings and raising concerns about energy grid stability.

At the policy level, recent developments have signaled a shifting landscape for U.S. climate action. In April 2025, President Donald Trump issued a new executive order that rolled back a range of federal climate change regulations, which furthered a trend of retreat from prior climate commitments. This rollback impacted power plant emissions standards, vehicle efficiency targets, and federal energy investment priorities, making U.S. climate policy notably less ambitious than it was just a year ago. The United States also formally withdrew from the Paris Agreement in early 2025. This move left the international community questioning the reliability of American leadership and its pledged financial support to developing nations facing the worst impacts of climate change, as reported by the United Nations.

Despite the federal pullback, some positive trends persist within the United States. Investments in clean energy have accelerated nationwide, spurred largely by state and local government initiatives, private sector funding, and consumer demand. According to the United Nations, clean energy investment globally surpassed two trillion dollars in 2024, marking the first time it has outpaced investment in fossil fuels. Cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Houston are moving forward with ambitious local clean energy and adaptation plans designed to reduce carbon emissions and strengthen community resilience in the face of rising heat and more frequent extreme weather events.

On the global stage, the recent high-level United Nations Climate Summit in New York served as a launchpad for crucial negotiations ahead of COP30, the upcoming international climate conference in Brazil. During the summit, world leaders and representatives from business and civil society called for new, more ambitious pledges, with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres urging nations to bridge the gap between current climate plans and what science says is necessary to limit global warming. Observers highlighted that, while real momentum toward clean energy and climate adaptation is growing, the gap between escalating climate impacts and the pace of policy action remains stark. According to the World Economic Forum, climate change is projected to cost businesses up to one point five trillion dollars in lost productivity by 2050.

This week’s developments underscore an urgent, complex global picture. Extreme events are mounting, the United States is navigating policy uncertainty, and nations worldwide are being pressed to deliver on climate finance and ambition as science makes clear that far more decisive action is needed.

In the United States this week, climate change remains a defining challenge, with several notable developments underscoring both the urgency and complexity of the issue. Tornado Quest reports that the Atlantic hurricane season has reached its peak, highlighted by Hurricane Humberto reaching Category Four status on September twenty-seventh. Although Humberto may remain at sea, the looming possibility of another storm named Imelda has disaster preparedness officials urging communities along the East and Gulf Coasts to test emergency systems and update hurricane plans. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s latest hurricane outlook suggests thirteen to eighteen named storms are likely this season, including up to nine hurricanes and as many as five major hurricanes. There is a fifty percent chance of above-normal activity, a pattern that continues to prompt heightened vigilance across the Southeast and Atlantic regions, where just one landfalling storm could be devastating.

Meanwhile, drought continues to grip parts of the United States. The latest U.S. Drought Monitor update points to relief in the Plains, Midwest, and mid-South thanks to widespread rainfall, but the Northwest, Intermountain West, Deep South, and significant sections of the Atlantic Coast remain exceptionally dry, raising concerns about increased wildfire risk and water supply strain. The Storm Prediction Center continues to update fire weather outlooks daily, reflecting changing conditions rooted in both climate variability and longer-term shifts.

Within the sphere of climate action and research, Los Angeles recently hosted the Global Climate Action and Sustainability Summit, which gathered scientists, policymakers, and innovators to advance practical strategies for resilience. Participants focused on sustainable pathways, technology adoption, and collaborative efforts to propel climate solutions and underscore the importance of local and global partnerships. The success of this summit has already ushered in plans for another event next year, reinforcing California's leadership role in environmental innovation.

Nationally, the United States sees mixed signals. The nation has retreated from some international climate commitments in recent years, yet according to Tornado Quest, seventy-seven percent of global gross domestic product remains pledged to net-zero carbon emissions, indicating global momentum even if federal policies in the U.S. have become less ambitious. Citizen science efforts, like CoCoRaHS and the mPING app—initiatives managed out of Oklahoma—continue to engage Americans in daily climate data collection that improves both local forecasting and broader climate models.

Globally, the climate conversation has escalated, with world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly calling for bold action. Recent wildfires, floods, and heatwaves in North America, South Asia, and Europe have thrust climate impacts into the forefront of global debate, highlighting the disconnect between escalating risks and lagging policy responses. In the Amazon Basin, ongoing deforestation is producing severe swings between dry spells and heavy rains, compounding stress on local communities and biodiversity.

Against this backdrop, climate change remains an immediate and intensifying risk for the United States and worldwide, marked by extreme weather events, persistent droughts, and a growing need for innovative collaboration. Efforts to advance technology, mobilize communities, and drive new commitments are ongoing, but the urgency is clear as both natural and political landscapes evolve.

In the United States, the past week has brought renewed urgency and significant debate over climate change policy. More than one thousand U S scientists and experts publicly rebuked the White House’s latest effort to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency's pivotal Endangerment Finding. This foundation allows regulation of greenhouse gases, and overturning it would challenge federal authority to limit emissions. The scientists' letter emphasized that climate change’s dangerous health and economic impacts are beyond dispute and that the evidence is more compelling than ever. They called on U S leaders to resist weakening critical climate rules and instead act decisively to curb heat-trapping emissions, reminding officials that people nationwide depend on strong action to safeguard public health, the environment, and the economy, as reported by Agence France Presse.

Adding to the conversation, recent remarks by United States Climate Change Envoy John Podesta at the COP Twenty-Nine conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, highlighted global and national anxieties about the future direction of U S climate policy. Podesta acknowledged worries following the U S presidential election and warned of potential reversals in recent climate actions, underscoring that climate initiatives are larger than any one election or administration. He reaffirmed that the Biden Administration has made substantial investments in clean energy and rejoined the Paris Agreement, but he also warned that the climate crisis is accelerating globally with more destructive hurricanes in the American Southeast, record heat, and catastrophic wildfires and droughts worldwide. He reminded attendees that a bipartisan coalition still supports clean energy in the United States, noting that a majority of new clean energy jobs created since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act are in districts represented by Republican lawmakers, according to ABC News.

Across American cities, rising temperatures have prompted new efforts that mix public art with increased shade and climate education, as communities search for creative ways to help people adapt to extreme heat. Meanwhile, in Florida, local and state agencies have teamed up with scientists to restore coral reefs damaged by historic ocean warming. Their coordinated coral baby boom aims to support marine ecosystems particularly vulnerable to warming and acidifying seas, as reported by ABC News.

Worldwide, the period has seen alarming extremes, with severe droughts in southern Africa, wildfires in the Amazon, and dramatic flooding in parts of Europe further reinforcing patterns identified by climate scientists. As policymakers and citizens alike grapple with intensifying impacts, the coming months will be critical for advancing durable climate resilience in both the United States and around the world.

Across the United States, climate change remains at the forefront of public debate and policy as a series of significant developments emerges this September. In Missoula, Montana, a group of twenty-two young plaintiffs from Montana, Oregon, Hawaii, California, and Florida is taking unprecedented legal action. Their lawsuit, Lighthiser versus Trump, challenges recent executive orders that they argue could heighten the climate crisis and worsen health impacts for the next generation. The case is particularly notable, as federal court hearings on September sixteenth and seventeenth mark the first time that a constitutional climate case led by young people is being heard with live testimony, according to coverage by One Earth Film Fest.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration is moving to rescind the foundational Endangerment Finding, a key finding from two thousand nine that identified greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and welfare. If successful, this would halt the practice of quantifying and assigning monetary value to greenhouse gas emissions, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from environmental advocates across Michigan and elsewhere, as reported by Kalamazoo Climate Crisis Coalition. Residents and activists are urging the public to submit comments supporting the scientific consensus on climate change before the window closes on September twenty-second.

Renewable energy and innovation are also drawing attention nationwide. September twenty-first is set as Sun Day, a national day of action celebrating solar and wind power, with community events ranging from electric vehicle and e-bike parades to educational workshops on heat pumps and solar installation. This event is organized by Third Act and underscores the growing public and policy support for clean energy as both the cheapest and fastest-growing source of new power in the United States, as reported by Sun Day and One Earth Film Fest.

While legislative action continues, California has extended its state cap-and-trade program, reaffirming aggressive climate goals in the nation’s most populous state, according to ABC News. At the same time, a recent study highlighted by ABC News links frequent and severe heat waves in the United States to pollution from major fossil fuel producers, pointing to clear and increasing risks from ongoing carbon emissions.

These developments are part of a broader pattern of heightened political and legal struggle over federal climate regulation and accelerating efforts by states and local advocates to advance clean energy and community resilience. On the global stage, the upcoming Global Climate Action and Sustainability Summit in Los Angeles and international gatherings in Berlin and Paris reflect a growing recognition that solutions must be bold, multidisciplinary, and inclusive. In the U.S. and around the world, the consequences of climate change are more visible and urgent than ever, driving policy debates, courtrooms confrontations, and grassroots mobilization as the drive for a sustainable future intensifies.

Across the United States, concerns over climate change have continued to intensify in recent days as policymakers, scientists, and community leaders respond to new developments and growing impacts. According to the League of Conservation Voters, Senators Tim Kaine of Virginia and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico have recently refiled legislation seeking to terminate what they call a sham national energy emergency declared by former President Donald Trump. Critics argue that this declaration has led to the rollback of critical clean energy programs, propped up retired fossil fuel power plants, and cancelled new wind and solar projects, all while driving up utility costs for families. The League of Conservation Voters warns that if Congress does not take action to defend clean energy funding, the country could see higher energy prices and slowed progress on essential climate initiatives.

Meanwhile, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported the global climate remains close to transitioning into a La Nina pattern, which could alter weather events across the continental United States during the last part of the year, increasing the risk of drought in the South and more severe storms along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, according to Fox Weather. This ongoing weather volatility puts a spotlight on the importance of robust climate and weather monitoring, but researchers are raising alarms over significant cuts to federal climate and weather data collection programs. The New York Academy of Sciences notes that these cuts could hamper not just research but also weather and disaster response planning in communities from California to Maine.

Looking ahead, communities across the nation are gearing up for Sun Day on September twenty-first, a coordinated day of action to promote clean, renewable energy solutions such as solar and wind. Organizers are encouraging local parades of electric vehicles, tours of homes with heat pumps, and rallies advocating easier access to rooftop solar. As people in communities from Texas to Vermont plan events, advocates say these collective efforts demonstrate both optimism and determination to accelerate the clean energy transition despite policy obstacles and political pushback.

At the same time, Los Angeles is preparing to host the Global Climate Action and Sustainability Summit from September eighteenth to nineteenth, bringing together scientists, innovators, and policymakers to discuss strategies for building climate resilience. Experts at this event will focus on technological innovations, community-led efforts, and holistic policies designed to help the country adapt to mounting climate pressures.

Worldwide, major gatherings such as the Global Forum on the Environment and Climate Change and the Global Congress on Climate Change are also happening in September, underlining the real sense of urgency and coordination that has emerged around climate action, both in the US and internationally. This increasing alignment of local, national, and global efforts reflects the recognition that climate resilience and sustainability require immediate action across every level of society.

Recent news across the United States highlights both mounting evidence of climate change impacts and sharp debates over federal environmental policy. In Washington State, the Department of Ecology and Governor Bob Ferguson publicly criticized a draft federal report from the U.S. Department of Energy, which they claim omitted decades of peer-reviewed research and scientific consensus regarding the threats posed by climate change. Their own new analysis, developed with the University of Washington’s Climate Impacts Group, reports that Washington’s spring snowpack is projected to decline by forty to sixty percent by the 2080s, risking critical water supplies, hydropower, fish habitats, and increasing the severity of wildfires, heat waves, and droughts. Officials warn that cherry-picking or ignoring climate data, as they allege the Department of Energy and the Trump Administration have done, puts lives and livelihoods in danger, especially as communities already contend with more frequent extreme weather and environmental disruptions.

The broader national context reveals attempts by federal agencies to alter foundational climate regulations. According to Nature, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to overturn its 2009 determination that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare. This reversal would eliminate the legal basis for regulating emissions from vehicles, power plants, and other major sources. The move has prompted formal responses from leading climate scientists, who argue that it misrepresents decades of global research and threatens nationwide progress toward decarbonization. With the United States as the world's second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China, global experts express deep concern that weakening climate regulations could have significant, far-reaching impacts.

Across the country, communities are responding with innovative solutions and gatherings focused on sustainability. Los Angeles will host the Global Climate Action and Sustainability Summit from September eighteenth to nineteenth, emphasizing practical approaches to climate resilience and collaborative strategies for a more sustainable future. National and local events, such as Sun Day on September twenty-first, highlight the shift toward solar, wind, and battery power as the cheapest and most effective sources for reducing carbon emissions. Organizers are urging communities to participate in e-bike parades, clean energy installations, and policy rallies to drive further adoption of renewables and climate-smart technologies.

Globally, major climate conferences are underway, with the Global Summit on Climate Changes and Sustainability convening in Barcelona and the Global Congress on Climate Change scheduled for Berlin later in September. The World Meteorological Organization, in its latest Air Quality and Climate Bulletin, draws attention to the connection between air quality and climate change, recommending more coordinated international efforts to mitigate risks from wildfires, industrial pollution, and urban emissions. While regulatory measures have reduced air pollution in parts of North America and Europe, wildfire-driven pollution in Canada and the western United States remains a critical challenge, underscoring shifting patterns and the urgent need for more robust climate action.

Collectively, these developments reveal a clear pattern. Climate change is increasingly evident in daily life across the United States, stoking national debate and inspiring local innovation. As legal, scientific, and community-based responses unfold, the stakes continue to rise, highlighting the urgent need for evidence-based policy, collaborative leadership, and broad adoption of clean energy to confront the realities and risks of a changing climate.

In the past week, climate change developments in the United States have drawn national and international scrutiny. Over 85 prominent climate scientists published a major critique of a U.S. Department of Energy report, asserting that its findings were biased, error-filled, and unsuitable for policy guidance, a sharp contrast to widely respected climate assessments such as those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or the U.S. National Climate Assessment. This controversy comes as legal challenges pursue greater transparency and accountability in climate policy formation. Meanwhile, the federal government’s reduction in climate and weather data collection—a consequence of agency cutbacks—is already impacting disaster prevention and early warning systems, not only within the country but globally. The New York Academy of Sciences highlights that American data have long been pivotal for forecasting floods, hurricanes, and even famine worldwide, but scientists abroad now warn that these capabilities may be compromised.

At the policy level, reporting from Phys.org and The Hill indicates that the Trump administration has halted construction of significant renewable energy projects, such as the Revolution Wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island, while taking steps to repeal the Environmental Protection Agency’s foundational Endangerment Finding. Experts, including former EPA head Gina McCarthy, argue that these federal actions threaten progress and send troubling signals internationally, especially as other nations continue to press forward with ambitious climate goals.

In New Orleans, Grist reveals that levee infrastructure, a crucial defense against climate-fueled floods, is sinking and faces funding shortages just 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, raising concerns that local adaptation measures are lagging behind worsening climate impacts. On September 18th and 19th, Los Angeles will host the Global Climate Action and Sustainability Summit, bringing together scientists, policymakers, and activists eager to advance innovative responses in climate resilience. These events emphasize growing interest across sectors in forging solutions, despite challenges at the national policy level.

Globally, the United Nations warns that while the cooling La Niña climate pattern may return within months, it will not counteract the ongoing rise in global temperatures driven by human activities. At the same time, communities worldwide—including those in the United States—are mobilizing positive action to support energy transition, as the Sun Day initiative approaches on September 21st, with events celebrating the progress of clean power and rallying for further change.

Emerging patterns suggest that although federal divisions have disrupted climate science and policy, local communities, scientific organizations, and international partners continue to drive action and foster solutions. The U.S. remains central to both setbacks and progress: policy debates, evolving scientific standards, and grassroots mobilization all shape the country’s climate future and resonate globally.

The climate change conversation in the United States has intensified over the past week, marked by significant controversy and scientific pushback. At the center of the debate is a recently released Department of Energy report titled A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate, which is being used by the Environmental Protection Agency to justify rolling back foundational climate protections. The Environmental Protection Network, a coalition of more than 650 former Environmental Protection Agency scientists and officials, has formally condemned the report, highlighting its reliance on flawed science, selective use of data, and rejection of established climate assessments. According to Andy Miller, a former Senior Science Advisor at the Environmental Protection Agency, the report not only disregards decades of research but also intentionally misrepresents the urgency of climate action. The California Air Resources Board has echoed these concerns, filing detailed public comments that debunk the report’s claims and warn that reversing climate policies will harm public health, exacerbate extreme weather, and worsen pollution across the United States.

As this policy battle unfolds, there is growing concern about the broader implications. According to the New York Academy of Sciences, cuts to weather and climate data in U.S. federal agencies are already impacting global disaster preparedness and early warning systems. Scientists worldwide depend on American climate data to predict floods, hurricanes, and severe weather events. Without robust data collection and sharing, efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change could be severely compromised, both within the United States and beyond.

Amidst these challenges, scientific and policy communities are mobilizing for solutions. On September 18 and 19, Los Angeles will host the Global Climate Action and Sustainability Summit under the theme Sustainable Pathways: Innovating for Climate Resilience. The event aims to unite leaders and experts to discuss innovative and actionable strategies for climate adaptation. Looking ahead, scientists and advocates are preparing for the landmark thirtieth United Nations Climate Change Conference, set for November in Belém, Brazil, where international cooperation on climate mitigation will be in sharp focus. Meanwhile, regional forums like the recent Rio Climate Action Week are rallying local and global leaders to accelerate the fight against climate change. The current landscape in the United States is characterized by contested narratives, urgent calls for evidence-based policy, and a global push for innovation and resilience. As the debate over regulatory frameworks continues, the scientific consensus underscores that delaying action or diminishing climate data infrastructure places not only Americans but communities worldwide at increased risk from extreme weather, environmental degradation, and economic instability.
