The Department of Energy will shutter its Office of International Climate and Technology, its staff was told this month, according to The New York Times, which cited current and former DOE employees.
The department has been in the cross-hairs since it was marked for elimination in President Donald Trump's budget request. Its workers played an essential role in planning Energy Secretary Rick Perry's visit to Beijing last week as part of the Clean Energy Ministerial.
The office is the only unit at DOE to have climate in its name.
The office last made headlines in February when a supervisor told staff not to use the term "climate change," "Paris Agreement" or "emissions reduction" in written communications, as POLITICO reported at the time.
