Jochem Marotzke, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, spent several years researching in the USA himself. He shares his insights on what the Trump administration’s policies mean for his U.S. colleagues, national and international climate research, the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and climate protection.
