United States Global Change Research Program

Agency for International Development - Global Climate Change
USAID focuses on developing countries and the impacts that climate change can have on humans, including food and water scarcity, sanitation, poverty, and conflict.

The United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) works to "build a knowledge base that informs human responses to climate and global change through coordinated and integrated federal programs of research, education, communication, and decision support." Congress mandated the program as part of the Global Change Research Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-606), and it now involves 13 federal agencies. The following are some of these agencies' websites on climate change:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Climate and Health Program
The CDC studies climate change and its relation to infectious diseases, as well as its impacts on overall human health.
Department of Agriculture - Climate Change
The USDA studies how climate change affects both agriculture and forestry.
Department of State - Global Climate Change
The DOS promotes and supports international climate change efforts and partnerships.
Department of Transportation - Transportation and Climate Change Clearinghouse
The DOT researches climate change in relation to transportation infrastructure and services, aiming for an increase in energy efficiency and a reduction in greenhouse gases.
Environmental Protection Agency - Climate Change
EPA's initiatives focus on air and water quality, aquatic ecosystems, human health, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
National Aeronatics and Space Administration - Global Climate Change
NASA takes a global perspective on climate change and provides data, images, and multimedia on sea levels, global temperatures, carbon dioxide concentrations, and more.
