概要

 The United States faces a critical moment in environmental protection as the Trump administration has withdrawn from major international organizations that guide global ecosystem management. On January 7th, President Trump announced the withdrawal from 66 international organizations, including the World Health Organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This withdrawal has prompted urgent action at the state level to protect public health and environmental ecosystems.

In response to the federal withdrawal, fourteen U.S. states and Guam have formed the Governors Public Health Alliance, a coalition designed to protect the health of people across the country. These governors recognize that disease outbreaks and biodiversity decline know no boundaries and that climate change can only be addressed through international collaboration. The alliance is now expanding its focus beyond public health to include biodiversity protection and climate mitigation, understanding that failure to protect these areas will undermine public health itself.

Meanwhile, environmental groups across the country have taken legal action against the Trump administration's rollback of environmental protections. According to The Guardian, seventeen leading public health and environmental groups, including the American Public Health Association, American Lung Association, Environmental Defense Fund, Center for Biological Diversity, and Natural Resources Defense Council, have sued the EPA over the repeal of a landmark 2009 climate finding that enabled the federal government to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

In other ecosystem developments, cities are recognizing green infrastructure as essential for environmental resilience. Flooding caused two trillion dollars in economic losses in 2024, prompting urban leaders to develop networks of green infrastructure systems to reduce property and infrastructure damage from water. South Carolina has pioneered a new sea-level rise mapping platform funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, enabling planners and communities to track salt-marsh migration and prepare for rising seas and saltwater intrusion.

On the positive side, Brazil has achieved its lowest deforestation rate in twelve years over the past six months, with researchers attributing this progress to improved enforcement against illegal logging, farming, and ranching. This reduction in forest clearing has led to significant decreases in Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is pursuing a twelve billion dollar plan to stockpile critical minerals and rare earths, viewing this as essential to national defense. This industrial policy aims to insulate America from supply shocks while spurring development of alternative technologies that reduce reliance on rare earth elements. These market forces are already driving innovation in substitutes and expanded domestic production across North America, particularly in Utah.
