Climate change is a very hot topic, particularly within the Department of Energy. The Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER) recently launched the Investigation of Magnitudes and Probabilities of Abrupt Climate Change (IMPACTS). The scientific research base for climate change continues to grow. Alongside the science, the need for a synthesis of this information to aid future global policy decisions on climate change grows.
U.S. Open Labs, one of OpenEI's seven core gateways, is spearheading the effort to make this information available. U.S. Open Labs lends clean energy tools, data, and expertise from 9 of the Department of Energy's National Laboratories. This readily-available information, as it continues to grow, will support international efforts to combat climate change. Particularly, this information will be made available for developing countries, and hopefully aid them in making informed future policy decisions to help curb the effects of climate change.
