World Resources Institute, Global Topics: Climate Change and Energy

Climate change is a global problem that, if unaddressed, could undermine progress on every aspect of human development and ecosystem protection, including built infrastructure, food production, biodiversity, human health, and the natural systems that support growing economies. Effective policies to prevent climate change will set the world on a new course, one characterized by cleaner energy sources, healthier ecosystems and societies, technological innovation, and economic opportunity.

Pacific Peoples' Partnership (PPP)

PPP was founded in 1975 and has developed into Canada's principal organization working with Pacific Island peoples. PPP is devoted to international education and advocacy on issues of concern for the South Pacific region. This small non-Government Organization based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, was originally set up to facilitate connections between Pacific Islanders and Canadians. Over time, our work has developed an international audience. Now PPP has members in several countries. While education and advocacy remain the top priority for PPP, we also support grassroots projects in the Islands.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

Recognizing the problem of potential global climate change, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. It is open to all members of the UNEP and WMO. The role of the IPCC is to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change. It does not carry out research nor does it monitor climate related data or other relevant parameters. It bases its assessment mainly on peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature.

Inuit Observations on Climate Change

International Institute for Sustainable Development. On Banks Island in Canada's High Arctic, Inuvialuit hunters and trappers have a close relationship with the natural world. Given the dramatic changes that local people have observed, IISD and the Hunters and Trappers Committee of Sachs Harbour initiated a year-long project to document the problem of Arctic climate change and communicate it to Canadian and international audiences. The project team worked in partnership with specialists from five organizations to develop an innovative method for recording and sharing local observations on climate change.

Climate Change Knowledge Network (CCKN)

The Climate Change Knowledge Network brings together expertise, experience and perspectives from more than a dozen organizations from developing, transitional and developed countries. Limited resources, knowledge and capacity in developing countries, and lack of dialogue and understanding between industrialized and developing countries, obstruct progress toward international efforts to address climate change. The Climate Change Knowledge Network aims to help address these gaps by facilitating focused research and capacity building in developing and developed countries, with sustainable development as the overall goal.
