Climatic Research Unit

The Climatic Research Unit (CRU) is a scientific organization based at the University of East Anglia in the UK, dedicated to studying climate change and its impacts. Founded in 1972, it focuses on collecting and analyzing climate data, particularly temperature records, to understand long-term climate trends. The CRU plays a key role in informing climate science and policy, contributing to reports by major bodies like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Its research helps improve our understanding of global warming and supports efforts to address climate-related challenges.
