Global Change Research Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Global Change Research Act 1990 is a United States law requiring research into global warming and related issues. It requires a report to Congress every four years on the consequences of climate change; however, the first of these, the National Assessment on Climate Change, was not published until 2000.[1]
The law codified the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), set up by presidential authority in 1989, and mandated the creation of the Global Change Research Information Office (GCRIO), which began work in 1993.
