Abstract

The Illinois Global Climate Change Program (hereafter referred to as the Program), is housed at the Illinois State Water Survey. Joint House Resolution 81 of the Illinois General Assembly designated the Survey as Illinois' center for scientific research and information related to global climate change in 1991. The Program is formed as a natural extension of the Survey's water resource and climate research since the turn of the century and a response to mounting questions about global climate change and its impacts. It will provide accurate, timely information to Illinois decision makers, the general public, and the scientific community about the potential future state of the climate, and how altered climate conditions may affect Illinois. The Program's goal is to provide for Illinois a center of expertise addressing the global climate change issue with a three-way focus: studies of climate change and its effects, monitoring of climate-related environmental changes, and the timely dissemination of information.
