Open Climate Network (OCN)
The Open Climate Network (OCN) is developing a set of climate policy tracking and assessment tools that will help people raise the right questions about climate-related policy design and implementation in their countries. These tools will generate a nuanced, contextualized, independent, and peer-reviewed understanding of climate policy implementation for both domestic and international audiences. Our aim is to harness the insights captured through the assessment tools and use them to engage civil society and others in the interest of improving policy design and implementation.

Climate Change Impacts on Marine Ecosystems (CLAMER)
CLAMER is a European Union 7th Framework Programme project Climate Change and Marine Ecosystem Research, involving 19 marine research institutes and universities from 11 European countries covering all regional seas. The project builds upon the concept that there is a gap between what is known through research and what policy makers and the public know and understand about the effects of climate change on the oceans; this gap needs to be filled to help catalyse formulation and acceptance of the necessary mitigation and adaptation measures for the marine environment. Therefore, CLAMER will comp ...

Le portail de langue française du site internet du Secrétariat de la CCNUCC n'est pas une reproduction littérale de la version anglaise. Il a pour but principal de faire ressortir les principaux centres d'intérêt des pays francophones, notamment des pays en voie de développement et des pays les moins avancés sur l'information relative aux changements climatiques. De plus, le nombre de documents disponibles en français étant relativement limité, il est techniquement impossible de reproduire tous les documents du site anglais.

Acclimate: un projet et un portail pour l'adaptation au changement climatique des îles de la Commission de l'Océan Indien
Les îles de la COI (Union des Comores, Madagascar, Maurice, France/Réunion, Seychelles) sont en première ligne face au changement climatique. Alors qu’elles contribuent de manière négligeable aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre, elles risquent de subir des dégâts énormes et potentiellement irréversibles au niveau de l’environnement, de l’économie et de la société.
L’adaptation au changement climatique est donc pour elles une priorité absolue, nécessitant la mise en place d’actions appropriées et un soutien important de la part de la communauté internationale.
