Those investments and our future understanding are now under threat.

In response to proposed U.S. budget cuts for climate science, and to avert the worst impacts of deferential budget oversight, the Bellona Foundation and the Center for American Progress are calling on the EU to step-up and provide global leadership in the fight against climate change.
