概要

 In the United States, recent developments highlight growing tensions between federal policy shifts and state-level efforts to protect ecosystems amid climate and biodiversity challenges. On January 7, President Trump issued a memorandum withdrawing the United States from key international organizations, including those addressing global health and environmental crises, prompting urgent calls for Congress and states to fill the gap, according to Beyond Pesticides. Fourteen states plus Guam formed the Governors Public Health Alliance to safeguard public health in response to the World Health Organization withdrawal, with advocates urging expansion to biodiversity and climate protection through support for the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, known as IPBES, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, called IUCN, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC.

A federal judge handed the Trump administration its fifth consecutive loss in battles over offshore wind projects, lifting a stop-work order on New Yorks Sunrise Wind off the states coast, as reported by the League of Conservation Voters. This ruling allows construction to resume on all five halted projects from December, which together will power over 1.1 million homes with clean energy from sites along the East Coast, preserving marine ecosystems while boosting jobs. New York League of Conservation Voters emphasized that halting these supported thousands of workers and avoided reliance on volatile fossil fuels.

Meanwhile, the Department of the Interior initiated oil and gas lease sales in the Coastal Plain of Alaskas Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, risking destruction of vital wildlife habitats sacred to Gwichin tribal communities, per League of Conservation Voters reports. Critics note a prior sale drew zero bids, underscoring economic unviability alongside ecological harm. The administration also canceled 943 million dollars in Department of Transportation funds for electric vehicle infrastructure targeting pollution reduction in low-wealth and communities of color areas.

Emerging patterns show states and courts countering federal rollbacks, with polls revealing over 50 percent of Trump voters favoring utility-scale solar, especially U.S.-made panels. Beyond Pesticides stresses that biodiversity decline and climate threats demand cross-border action, as ecosystems underpin human health, while IPBES assessments reveal ongoing global interlinkages requiring accelerated U.S. state commitments to avert collapse. These clashes in New York, Alaska, and across 14 states signal a fragmented yet resilient push to sustain ecosystems against policy reversals.
