Description:
The U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) is a collaborative effort among 13 agencies of the U.S. federal government. From the CCSP's 2003 strategic plan, its mission is to: "facilitate the creation and application of knowledge of the earth's global environment through research, observations, decision support, and communication. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development (ORD) contributes to the CCSP by working to develop an understanding of the potential environmental impacts of anticipated future global changes. These changes include population growth and migration, economic growth, land use change, technology change, climate change, and government actions and policies. A product of ORD's contribution to the CCSP is the Global Change Air Quality Assessment, which builds upon traditional EPA expertise by examining the connections between global changes and air quality.
