Climate Change Solutions is a Canadian site of the Pembina Institute, providing interactive tools, resources and success stories on actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Includes information, tools and resources needed to translate concerns about global climate change into concrete local actions that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The David Suzuki Foundation works through science and education to protect the balance of nature and our quality of life, now and for future generations. The Foundation, based in Vancouver, does this through research, application and education. The site provides information and ideas on how individuals can make a difference.
The World Wildlife Fund Climate Change Campaign raises awareness, presses policymakers on issues such as the Kyoto Accord, forms partnership with businesses. Main objective is to reduce CO2 emissions.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assesses on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. Each of three Working Groups and the Task Force on National Grrenhouse Gas Inventories has a Technical Support Unit. These Technical Support Units are supported by the government of the developed country co-chair of that Working Group or Task Force and hosted by a research institution in that country. A number of other institutions provide in kind support for IPCC activities.
The World Climate Research Project was established under the joint sponsorship of International Council for Science (ICSU) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and has also been sponsored by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO since 1993. The objectives of the programme are to develop the fundamental scientific understanding of the physical climate system and climate processes needed to determine to what extent climate can be predicted and the extent of human influence on climate.
The US Global Change Research Program supports research on the interactions of natural and human-induced changes in the global environment and their implications for society. The USGCRP began as a presidential initiative in 1989 and was codified by Congress in the Global Change Research Act of 1990, which mandates development of a coordinated interagency research program.
NASA's Global Change Master Directory is a directory of earth science data and services. Its goal is to enable users to locate and obtain access to Earth science data sets and services relevant to the global change and Earth science research. There are search tools, subscription services and a forum to discuss content and database issues.
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change was established in 1998 as a non-profit, non-partisan and independent organization. The Center's mission is to provide credible information, straight answers, and innovative solutions in the effort to address global climate change. The Pew Center provides a forum for objective research and analysis and for the development of pragmatic policies and solutions.
The Government of Canada Climate Change website, including a variety of educational resouces and information on the topic.
Future Forests is a UK-based company providing resources for people and companies to find out how much carbon dioxide they produce, to provide them with straightforward ways of reducing those emissions, and interesting options for 'neutralising' what can't be reduced. Future Forest's CarbonNeutral Protocol defines what it is to be CarbonNeutral, how CarbonNeutral status is awarded and what Emissions Reductions projects merit the CarbonNeutral label.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat supports cooperative action by states to combat climate change and its impacts on humanity and ecosystems. The UNFCCC provides organizational support and technical expertise to the parties to the Convention.
