National and International Programs :

  • Atmosphere, Climate & Environment Information Programme
    (Disseminates information, effects of, and controls on air pollution and climate change, within the framework of national legislation and international discussion.)
  • Carbon Sequestration Web site
    (Offers information on carbon management efforts supported by the DOE Office of Science.)
  • Climate Change Information Kit
    (Detailed summary of climate change issues from the United Nations Environment Programme's Information Unit for Conventions.)
  • Climate Prediction Center at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction
    (The Center's mission is to maintain a continuous watch on short-term climate fluctuations and to diagnose and predict them.)
  • Climate Research Division in the United Kingdom
    (Comprehensive climate links for the UK Meteorological Office's Hadley Center for Climate Prediction and Research.)
  • Climate Resources page of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center
    (Expert and authoritative source for many types of climate data and documentation.)
  • Common Questions About Climate Change
    (Compiled by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization.)
  • Encyclopedia of Sustainable Development
    (A one-stop source of information on sustainable development.)
  • Encyclopedia of the Atmospheric Environment
    (A one-stop source of information on a range of atmospheric issues, including air quality, acid rain, global warming and ozone depletionsustainable development.)
  • Environment Canada's Global Climate Change Site
    (Informative and entertaining site; especially good for educators and students.)
  • Global Change Data and Information Service
    (A collection of distributed information systems operated by agencies participating in the U.S. Global Change Research Program.)
  • GREENGRASS
    (Offers information on sources and sinks of greenhouse gases from managed European grasslands and mitigation strategies.)
  • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
    (The IPCC was formed by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme in 1988 and is the vehicle through which scientists around the world are working jointly on climate change assessments.)
  • NASA's Land Cover Land Use Change Program
    (An interdisciplinary programme aimed at improving the understanding of land use and land cover change dynamics and their relationships with global environmental change.)
  • NOAA-CIRES Climate Diagnostics Center
    (Focuses on advancing our understanding of and ability to predict climate variability. A great ENSO site.)
  • Regional and Global Data for Global Change Research from ORNL DAAC
    (Comprehensive metadata database of data and models on the biogeochemical dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. Metadata contain links to data and models held by other data centers.)
  • Synthesis and Upscaling of Sea-level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Studies (SURVAS)
    (To enhance the understanding of the implications of sea-level rise at the regional and global scale.)
  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Global Warming Site
    (EPA's site describes the climate system, climate change impacts, and actions being taken from the global level down to the local level.)
  • U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)
    (Umbrella agency site covers anything having to do with U.S. government climate change research. A great source for 100s of additional links.)
  • World Bank Group
    (Provides loans, policy advice, technical assistance, and knowledge-sharing services in assistance to developing economies.)
