Main Initiatives
1. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
2. The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) works to create a large scale awareness in the US of, among other things, the challenges of climate change. In particular, the organization will promote studies on how economic growth affects climate change and will try to find possible ways to reduce global warming.
3. The Pew Center on Global Climate Change
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change brings together business leaders, policy makers, scientists, and other experts to bring a new approach to a complex and often controversial issue. Their approach is based on sound science, straight talk, and a belief that we can work together to protect the weather while sustaining economic growth.
4. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
The IPCC is a scientific intergovernmental body set up by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Hundreds of scientists all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC as authors, contributors, and reviewers. As United Nations body, the IPCC work aims at the promotion of the United Nations human development goals.
