§2951 Findings and purposes

Summary

Calls for countries to work together and share money and scientific skills to study global environmental change. Congress found there is no complete international system now to plan or run this research, that a global research program can help build agreement on how to reduce environmental damage, and that the United States should help lead these efforts. The goals are to promote international cooperation, include scientists and policymakers from developing countries, and help those countries raise living standards while limiting harm to the global or regional environment.
