    EM-DAT: Trump aid cuts could close database storing ‘world’s memory of disasters’

    Trump's cuts to US foreign aid threaten the EM-DAT disaster database, a critical resource for climate scientists and policymakers. EM-DAT, maintained by Belgium's CRED, provides free, verified data on over 27,000 disasters and is used in IPCC reports and global disaster strategies. An open letter signed by 4,000 academics urges governments and organizations to fund the database.
