As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

Several pages about climate change on the White House and State Department websites have been removed since Jan 20, and more are at risk. The Trump admin has a track record of deleting this information: From 2016 to 2020, as much as 20% of the EPA's website became inaccessible to the public.

If this week has made one thing clear, it's that local climate action remains incredibly important. Amid worsening climate impacts and deteriorating support from the federal government, coastal communities need their local elected officials to deliver solutions that protect them. We're here to help.
