The US Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) stands in solidarity with the scientific community against recent funding cuts for climate change research and the unjust dismissal of federal agents. A statement of solidarity from the USAPECS board is enclosed with this post.

The US Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) stands in unwavering solidarity with the broader scientific and research communities in response to the recent federal funding cuts for climate change research and the unfortunate firing of NOAA federal agents. These actions threaten not only the integrity of polar research but also undermine the crucial work being done to understand and mitigate the effects of climate change, particularly in the polar regions which are among the most vulnerable to these changes.

USAPECS calls upon policymakers to restore funding for climate change research and to prioritize efforts to improve the representation and inclusion of marginalized communities in polar science. We must strengthen, not weaken, the scientific institutions that work to protect the future of our planet and the integrity of our global research communities. Now more than ever, the pursuit of knowledge and the protection of our planet depend on the collective commitment of all scientists, policymakers, and citizens to act with urgency, equity, and solidarity.
