美国农民面临日益严重的气候威胁,因为拟议的削减预算危及美国农业部对抗御能力至关重要的气候中心。 U.S. farmers face growing climate threats as proposed budget cuts endanger USDA Climate Hubs vital for resilience.

美国各地的农民,包括爱荷华州的杰西卡·克鲁帕帕卡(Jessica Krupeta)的农民,正面临日益严重的气候影响,如雨量更重、夏季更热、气候变幻莫测,威胁到作物和生计。 Farmers across the U.S., including Iowa’s Jessica Krupicka, are facing worsening climate impacts like heavier rains, hotter summers, and erratic weather that threaten crops and livelihoods. 美国农业部11个区域气候中心成立于2014年,目的是提供基于科学的适应支持。 由于2026年拟议预算削减超过1.45亿美元,该中心现在面临被消除的风险。 The USDA’s 11 regional Climate Hubs, established in 2014 to provide science-based adaptation support, are now at risk of elimination due to proposed 2026 budget cuts exceeding $145 million. 虽然近80%的爱荷华农民承认气候变化,但中心的潜在损失可能阻碍在农业、林业和农村社区建立复原力的重要努力。 While nearly 80% of Iowa farmers acknowledge climate change, the potential loss of the hubs could hinder critical efforts to build resilience in agriculture, forestry, and rural communities.
