The National Academies carry out a wide range of activities on issues related to global-scale changes in climate, land use and land cover, oceans and freshwater resources, atmospheric chemistry, and ecological systems resulting from natural variability or human influences, and the potential impacts of these changes on human systems and ecosystems. Our activities in the broad area of global change are overseen by a number of boards, standing committees, and other units from throughout the National Academies.
This web site is designed to provide an overview of global-change activities from throughout the National Academies organized by major topical area. Browse Topics to see lists of related reports, upcoming meetings, ongoing activities, and selected links to other global change resources on the web.
