Climate Change Science Program (CCSP)

The Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) was a U.S. government initiative established to coordinate research on climate change. Its goal was to improve understanding of how climate systems work, how humans influence climate, and what impacts climate change may have. By synthesizing scientific data and findings, CCSP aimed to inform policymakers and the public about the causes, consequences, and potential responses to climate change. It involved multiple agencies working together to provide reliable, comprehensive climate science that supports informed decision-making for a sustainable future.
