AGU’s 2025-2026 Policy Priorities
Posted by Caitlin Bergstrom
Since 2019, AGU has developed policy priorities to guide our advocacy efforts and accelerate the advancement of important science policies and legislation. These policy priorities reflect AGU’s broader strategic goals, the evolving policy landscape, and the needs of our members.
After reviewing feedback from AGU members and leaders, we are pleased to share AGU’s 2025-2026 policy priorities. The priorities focus on three key areas:
- Confronting climate change through research, innovation, and action
- Accelerating discovery, innovation, and practical solutions in the Earth and space sciences for a thriving society
- Expanding the public’s connection to scientific research
By fostering broad and inclusive partnerships, AGU works to accelerate scientific knowledge, advocate for informed policies, and develop ethical, unbiased, and community-centered solutions. These policy priorities enable us to amplify the voices of our members and champion policies that advance the Earth and space sciences and their benefit for humanity and the environment.

You missed out on emphasizing the connection between scientific and technological advances brought bout by the federally funded, sponsored research that drove the U.S. Economy in the latter half of the 20th Century.
I made a presentation before the U.S. Senate in the early years of the 21st Century, that discussed those and why more investments were needed if the U.S. was to maintain its global economic leadership in the 21st Century.
I can elaborate and explain.
