Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)
announces that the IGES GHG Emissions Data is now available online.

The IGES GHG Emissions Data aimed at providing comprehensive,
organised information on the GHG emissions from Annex I countries
to the UNFCCC in an easy-to-understand way. This spreadsheet enables
users to use relevant information for their own analytical purposes.

All information is extracted from the publicly available sources on the
UNFCCC web-site and this data will be updated regularly.

To commemorate the World Environment Day on June 5, 2007: and LAUNCHES OF GLOBAL OUTLOOK FOR ICE AND SNOW report, UNEP/GRID Sioux Falls, has released a set of PowerPoint presentations entitled Melting Glaciers.  Since 1960, glaciers around the world have lost an estimated 8 000 cubic kilometres of ice. There is now a consensus among many scientists that climate change is the “biggest crisis in today’s world” with the potential to cause catastrophic damage. This collection of visually compelling slides of melting ice, showing changes measured using satellite observations, is startling evidence of impact of rapidly changing climate.
