CLIMATE CON: Climate Change/Global Warming Issues and Solutions

The Center for Climate Integrity (CCI) helps communities hold oil and gas corporations accountable for the massive costs of climate change.

"The Climate Action Tracker is an independent scientific analysis that tracks government climate action and measures it against the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C." A collaboration of two organisations, Climate Analytics and New Climate Institute, the CAT has been providing this independent analysis to policymakers since 2009."

NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action group, combining the grassroots power of 1.3 million members and online activists with the courtroom clout and expertise of more than 350 lawyers, scientists and other professionals

"Project Drawdown’s mission is to help the world stop climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible."

"RAND researchers have studied and are continuing to examine the effects of climate change, particularly how governments and businesses respond to both observed changes and projected scenarios."

"RealClimate is a commentary site on climate science by working climate scientists for the interested public and journalists. We aim to provide a quick response to developing stories and provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary."

"The Sabin Center develops legal techniques to fight climate change, trains students and lawyers in their use, and provides up-to-date resources on key topics in climate change law and regulation."

UN Climate Change conferences (or COPs) take place every year, and are the world’s only multilateral decision-making forum on climate change with almost complete membership of every country in the world.

The Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP) Beta is a central hub of information, data and reports about climate change around the world. Here you can query, map, compare, chart and summarize key climate and climate-related information

WMO) is, according to its website, a "specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to meteorology (weather and climate), operational hydrology (water) and other related geophysical sciences such as oceanography and atmospheric chemistry."

"Climate change and poverty are inextricably linked. Without rapid, inclusive and climate smart development, climate change could see more than 100 million more people living in poverty by 2030. To address this challenge, the World Bank Group is integrating climate risks and opportunities into its development work."

CDC’s Climate and Health Program supports state, tribal, local, and territorial public health agencies as they prepare for the health impacts of a changing climate

Created by the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Services, this database offers unprecedented access to climate and health-related literature from 2007-2023. Focus is on health impacts of climate variability/change.

Reports, policy, energy-saving tips for the public. The Energy Information Administration has launched a new state data portal that can help you compare energy usage and production across states, and map America's energy infrastructure

Vital Signs of the Planet Earth

"For decades, NOAA has provided essential information about our climate that anticipates future risks, saves lives, protects property and safeguards the economy."

USAID plays a vital role in mitigating climate change and addressing its impacts by partnering with more than 45 countries to implement ambitious emissions reduction measures, protect critical ecosystems, transition to renewable energy, build resilience against the impacts of climate change, and promote the flow of capital toward climate-positive investments.

Climate plays an important role in where plants, animals, and humans can thrive. As the global climate changes, it threatens the safety and well-being of our communities, our economy, and our natural heritage. The USGS investigates the causes and consequences of climate change and helps people create strategies to navigate this global crisis.

The IPCC was created to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation options

The 12 Report Findings distill important results from the National Climate Assessment. Not a full summary of all the chapters’ findings, these findings provide a synthesis of particularly noteworthy conclusions.

"The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The major feature of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets binding targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions."

NOAA states that it is the hottest it's been since scientists started tracking in 1880.

The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention and – for the first time – brings all nations into a common cause to undertake take ambitious efforts to combat climate change

COP28 signals beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era
