Strategic plan for the US climate change science program (Review Draft,

November 2002)

<http://www.climatescience.gov/Library/stratplan2003/default.htm>

This draft strategic plan for the combined US Global change Research

pro9ram (USGCRP) and climate change Research Initiative (CCRI) is

ava,lable for review. Comments will be accepted until 13 January 2003. The

draft plan will be the focus of a public workshop in washington, DC on 3-5

December 2002. A final version of the plan will be published in April

Delhi Declaration links climate change to sustainable development.

Environmental ministers and senior officials from some 170 countries

meeting in New Delhi reached agreement on a final resolution that

highlights the need for aid to help developing countries adapt to the

adverse impacts of climate change. The Eighth session of the conference of

the parties (COP-B) to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change,

held from October 23 to November I, adopted the so-called Delhi

Ministerial Declaration, which calls for strengthening international

collaboration on climate change and addressing the issue in the broader

context of sustainable development. (32KB PDF file)

The United States and New zealand plan to enhance their cooperation in the
field of climate change, according to the state Department. In an October
24 joint statement, the State Department said under secretary of state for
Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky and the Honorable Pete HodQson, Convenor
of New zealand's Ministerial Group on climate change, met ln washington,
D.C. to "exchange views on climate change." The two officials agreed to
enhance "bilateral dialoQue and practical cooperation," the State
Department said. "The Umted States and New Zealand agreed that climate
change was a pressing issue that requires a global solution," the State
Department added. (17KB PDF file)

GAO Predicts Sharp Increase In One "1 ~. An

Greenhouse Gas ~ ~1Il-1J, t.}~ »
k rUIu.J-~~ ~I
A new study by the General Accounting Office forecasts a big increase in U.S. electrical power }-!f;.t:-.J
generation over the next two decades, but also a sharp increase in power plant emissions of
carbon dioxide, a pollutant that many scientists blame for the earth's rising temperature.

Overall, electricity generation will increase by 42 percent from 2000 to 2020, while power plants'
emissions of carbon dioxide ~11 jump by 35 percent, according to the study, based on
Department of Energy data.

The study, commissioned by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, blamed the
emissions increases on the growing use of fossil fuels and the "general absence" of federal or
state emission standards for power plants. In contrast, the study forecasts that by 2020, power
plant emissions ofnitrogen oxide will decline by 2 percent and sulfur dioxide emissions will
decrease by 19 percent, because of existing clean air regulations.
