External Resources
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. The IPCC was established by the United Nations General Assembly after the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization sought to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.
Climate Impacts Group (CIG) is an internationally recognized interdisciplinary research group studying the impacts of natural climate variability and global climate change (“global warming”). Research at the CIG considers climate impacts at spatial scales ranging from local communities to the entire western U.S. region, with most work focused on the Pacific Northwest. Through research and interaction with stakeholders, the CIG works to increase community and ecosystem resilience to fluctuations in climate.
Washington State Climate Strategy The state Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Ecology, Fish and Wildlife, Health, Natural Resources and Transportation worked with a broad range of interested parties to lay out a framework that decision-makers can use to help protect Washington’s communities, natural resources and economy from the impacts of climate change. See the 2012 Washington State Integrated Climate Change Response Strategy report for climate change impacts on Washington.
