Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research - Oslo (CICERO) - An academic body that provides research and analysis on environmental issues, particularly climate change.
Centre for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change - The Centre is dedicated to discovering and disseminating scientific information pertaining to the effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment on climate and the biosphere.
Climatic Research Unit (CRU) - The Climatic Research Unit, based at the University of East Anglia, UK, is widely recognised as one of the world's leading institutions concerned with the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change. The site includes a series of useful information sheets.
CO2NET - The European networking development programme for CO2 geological storage, CO2 capture and zero emissions technology options has resulted in the European Carbon Dioxide Thematic Network, CO2NET.
Dealing with Climate Change - This database offers access to information on energy-related policies and measures taken or planned in IEA Member countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
European Commission Directorate General Environment - The Environment, Nuclear Safety and Civil Protection directorate of the European Commission. Among its responsibilities are climate and air quality, environmental impact assessment and the secretariat of the G-24 Nuclear Safety Assistance Coordination (NUSAC) effort.
Global Warming International Center (GWIC) - This is the international body disseminating information on global warming science and policy, serving both governmental, non-governmental organizations, and industries in more than 145 countries. It sponsors unbiased research supporting the understanding of global warming and its mitigation.
IEA Greenhouse Gas Programme (IEAGHG) - The IEA Greenhouse Gas Programme is an international collaborative R&D programme to analyse options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. Work to date has focused largely on the capture and storage of CO2. Site includes bi-monthly newsletter, as well as technical reports and paper presented.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - The panel was set up in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Contains working group data, press releases and technical reports in PDF format.
International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) - This is a non-profit organization created in June 1999 to establish a functional international framework for trading greenhouse gas emission reductions. Its membership includes leading international companies from across the carbon trading cycle. IETA members seek to develop an emissions trading regime that results in real and verifiable greenhouse gas emission reductions while balancing economic efficiency with environmental integrity and social equity.
National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) - This site claims to have the world's largest active archive of weather data
Pew Center on Global Climate Change - Established in 1998, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change is a non-profit, non-partisan and independent organization dedicated to providing credible information, straight answers and innovative solutions in the effort to address global climate change.
Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research - The Tyndall Centre is a national UK centre for trans-disciplinary research on climate change. It is dedicated to advancing the science of integration, to seeking, evaluating and facilitating sustainable solutions to climate change and to motivate society through promoting informed and effective dialogue.
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment (UCCEE) - The UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment at Riso National Laboratory, Denmark, supports the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in pursuing its aim of incorporating environmental aspects into energy planning and policy worldwide, with special emphasis on developing countries. Contains the C2E2 newsletter (PDF), links to other newsletters and other information.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat (UNFCCC) - The site of the UNFCCC secretariat contains lots of information on the scheduling of the current round of meetings, the convention itself, climate change and supporting documents.
