Overview
The U.S. government has eliminated funding for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to support developing countries with technical support for the purpose of achieving the climate mitigation goals set in the Paris Climate treaty. These Nationally Determined Commitments (NDC) were set with the implicit understanding the U.S. government would provide technical support to key countries. This is a one-time bridge grant to keep that technical support on track until the Lab either receives funding from the U.S. government or they can raise the funds from other governments or corporations.
