National Center for Science Education

Home“NCSE defends the integrity of science education against ideological interference. We work with teachers, parents, scientists, and concerned citizens at the local, state, and national levels to ensure that topics including evolution and climate change are taught accurately, honestly, and confidently.

Our work is made possible by our members and other generous donors.

What we do:

NCSE’s programs support teachers, engage scientists and organize local communities to ensure that evolution and climate change are taught without compromise. We are vigilant in monitoring for anti-science legislation, inaccurate textbooks, and compromised science standards, and effectively organize local responses whenever problems arise.

Interfaith Center On Corporate Responsibility

HomeClimate change has long been a concern for responsible investors, but has recently gained more widespread prominence due to the increasingly dire IPCC reports. The threats implied by this new data cannot be overstated, and the longer we wait to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the more difficult and expensive the task will become. Investors’ interest in climate change stems not only from their fiduciary concerns regarding the real and immedi­ate risk climate changes poses to their own institutional assets, but from their con­cerns about its broader and longer term ramifications on global economic stability. For faith-consistent investors, these concerns take on a distinctly human dimension as they consider the justice implications for vulnerable communities who, due to their resource constraints, will disproportionately bear the impacts of climate change.

European Environment Agency

European Environment AgencyClimate change is already happening: temperatures are rising, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting, and the global mean sea level is rising. Most of the warming is very likely due to the observed increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations as a result of emissions from human activities. To mitigate climate change, we must reduce or prevent these emissions.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The science related to climate change. The IPCC was set up in 1988 by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to provide policymakers
with regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts, and future risks, and
options for adaptation and mitigation.
IPCC assessments provide a scientific basis for governments at all levels to develop climate-related
policies and they underlie negotiations at the UN Climate Conference – the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The assessments are policy-relevant but
not policy-prescriptive: they may present projections of future climate change based on different
scenarios and the risks that climate change poses and discuss the implications of response options,
but they do not tell policymakers what actions to take.”
