Welcome to the DC Climate Action web site!

This site was developed by The George Washington University in order to provide current, multi-sectoral information about climate change and what you can do about it.  Because climate change is occuring globally, this site will provide information about science, events, and activities going on around the world.  The site also focuses on informing those who live and work in the Washington, D.C., region about what they can do to make a positive difference.

In addition to this site, The George Washington University offers climate-related courses and hosts an annual
Climate Action Conference

OUR VISION: To provide a comprehensive climate action hub for sharing information and ideas among the public, for-profit companies, non-profit organizations, and governments in the DC Metro area and worldwide.

GET INVOLVED: Though changes in the global climate are normal and occur over millenia, anthropogenic - or human-induced - climate change is that which occurs when people release "greenhouse gases" into the atmosphere.  Learn how you can reduce your personal and your organization's greenhouse gas emissions here.
