Climate change is a global challenge that requires international solutions and international cooperation among countries. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) believes that information sharing is a vital part of developing solutions at the international level. With this website, we hope to provide information that is both relevant and helpful to visitors from around the world who are interested and involved in addressing this global challenge.
The EPA Global Warming Site is a useful tool for individuals with diverse backgrounds yet with a common interest in climate change. Within the site, you will find information regarding the science of climate change and the impacts that may result from climate change. You will also find greenhouse gas emissions inventories. If you are looking for information on technologies and policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions within a specific sector such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, transportation or agriculture and forestry you can find this within the mitigation actions section. The site also provides news on current climate change topics, numerous climate change publications and presentations, a calendar of events and a searchable database of links to other climate-related sites.
We have tried to provide information of particular interest to those with a global perspective, especially visitors from outside the U.S. For instance, on the International Emissions page, you will find graphs and analyses of comparative emissions data from countries around the world as well as information on methods and tools to develop inventories and projections. Within the International Actions page, there is information on international programs and policies designed to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. You will also find information on Technology Cooperation activities and Land Use Change and Forestry issues.
For easy reference, we have placed the full text of the Framework Convention on Climate Change within the site's publications section.
After you have become familiar with the Global Warming Site, we hope to hear from you about additional information you would like to see on the site, including material you would like to share with us, and comments on what we can do to improve the site. Use the Contact Us link (at the bottom of each page) to send us your comments.
