U.S. Global Change Research Program

Since the Global Change Research Act (PL 101-606) was enacted in 1990, the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) has coordinated and facilitated global change research across 13 agencies of the U.S. Federal Government. From advancements in the capacity to observe and model global change, to an improved understanding of the relationship between climate and human health, to playing a leadership role in international cooperative research and assessment efforts, USGCRP continues its work to understand, assess, predict, and help society respond to the impacts of climate and global change.
