Climate Science for Decision-Making
|
Group on Earth Observations, Tokyo, April 2004. |
The United States is committed to helping developing countries and countries with economies in
transition meet environmental challenges such as climate change. Improved understanding of the science
of climate change is needed to support the complex decisions that must be made by policymakers. Climate
change science is a major component of decision support resources that include “the set of
observations, analyses, interdisciplinary research products, communication mechanisms and operational
services that provide timely and useful information to address questions confronting policymakers,
resource managers, and other users.”(1)
