"Donald Trump’s presidential transition team has asked State Department officials to disclose how much money it provides each year to international environmental groups. It’s the latest example of how the incoming administration is reassessing the U.S. government’s approach to tackling climate change and other environmental priorities.

As part of a list of questions posed last week to the department’s Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, according to multiple people familiar with the matter, the Trump landing team asked, 'How much does the Department of State contribute annually to international environmental organizations in which the department participates?'

The individuals familiar with the request spoke on the condition of anonymity because transition communications are confidential."
