Climate Change FAQs (CCF) is a private voluntary project to deliver reliable country and US state level information on climate solutions and impacts with this simple, easy to use interface. We hope it is a useful gateway for climate curious individuals to learn more about climate and to take climate action.
CCF is powered by Open AI's models. It relies on a variety of reputable data sources and publications that provide comprehensive, up-to-date, and scientifically rigorous information. Here are some key sources:
1. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
• Reports: Comprehensive assessment reports, special reports, and methodology reports on climate change science, impacts, and mitigation.
• Website: IPCC
2. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
• Data: Satellite data, climate models, and observational data on global temperature, sea level, ice cover, and other climate indicators.
• Website: NASA Climate Change
3. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
• Data: Climate monitoring data, weather patterns, oceanic data, and atmospheric research.
• Website: NOAA Climate.gov
4. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
• Resources: Documentation and data on international climate agreements, greenhouse gas inventories, and national communications.
• Website: UNFCCC
5. European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative
• Data: Satellite data on essential climate variables such as land cover, sea level, greenhouse gases, and ice sheets.
• Website: ESA Climate Change Initiative
6. Climate Change Research Centers and Universities
• Institutions: Research centers and universities such as the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Grantham Institute at Imperial College London, and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication provide valuable research and insights.
• Examples:
