§2953 Global Change Research Information Office

Summary

Within 180 days after November 16, 1990, the President must create an Office of Global Change Research Information. The President must do this while working with the Committee and all relevant federal agencies. The Office must share U.S. scientific research with foreign governments, businesses, institutions, and people in other countries to help them prevent, reduce, or adapt to global change. It must include research and technology information on six areas: saving energy through conservation and efficiency; using solar and other renewables to lower greenhouse gases; finding replacements for chlorofluorocarbons, halons, and other ozone‑depleting chemicals; conserving forests to cut carbon dioxide; helping developing countries with ecological pest control and the safe use of agricultural and industrial chemicals; and promoting recycling and source reduction to cut waste, energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions.
