United States Global Change Research Program
Definition
- The United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) began as a presidential initiative in 1989 and was passed into law by Congress through the Global Change Research Act of 1990, which called for “a comprehensive and integrated United States research program which will assist the Nation and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change.” The USGCRP mission is to build a knowledge base that informs human responses to climate and global change through coordinated and integrated federal programs of research, education, communication, and decision support. During the past two decades, the United States, through the USGCRP, has made the world's largest scientific investment in the areas of climate warming and global change research and has played a key role in the development of reports for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
