CLIMAP map of ice sheets, sea temperature changes, and changes in the outline of coastal regions during the last glacial. Climate: Long range Investigation, Mapping, and Prediction, known as CLIMAP, was a major research project of the 1970s and 80s to produce a map of climate conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum.
In climatology, the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) is a collaborative framework designed to improve knowledge of climate change. It was organized in 1995 by the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). It is developed in phases to foster the climate model improvements but also to ...
This is a list of climate change initiatives of international, national, regional, and local political initiatives to take action on climate change (global warming). A Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a set of strategies intended to guide efforts for climate change mitigation .
The field of complex networks has emerged as an important area of science to generate novel insights into nature of complex systems [1] The application of network theory to climate science is a young and emerging field. [2] [3] [4] To identify and analyze patterns in global climate, scientists model climate data as complex networks.
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is an international programme that helps to coordinate global climate research. [1] The WCRP was established in 1980, under the joint sponsorship of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Council for Science (ICSU), and has also been sponsored by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO since 1993.
The Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI), also referred to as Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), is a tool that identifies places that are susceptible to floods and heat-related effects of climate change by combining built, social, and ecological elements. [1] [2] It is also described as a systematic tool to rapidly assess climate change ...
The Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) was the program responsible for coordinating and integrating research on global warming by U.S. government agencies from February 2002 to June 2009. [1] Toward the end of that period, CCSP issued 21 separate climate assessment reports that addressed climate observations , changes in the atmosphere ...
Climate TRACE (Tracking Real-Time Atmospheric Carbon Emissions) [1] is an independent group which monitors and publishes greenhouse gas emissions. [2] It launched in 2021 before COP26 , [ 3 ] and improves monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of both carbon dioxide and methane .
