About the Cyberlibrary
The Tiempo Climate Cyberlibrary is a co-production of the Stockholm Environment Institute and the International Institute for Environment and Development. It is sponsored by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
Tiempo Climate Newswatch is a weekly on-line magazine with news, features and comment on global warming, climate change, sea-level rise and development issues. The news stories carried by Newswatch are updated weekly. Comment, features, interviews and other sections of the magazine are updated on a weekly to monthly basis.
The Tiempo Climate Portal is a listing of selected websites covering climate and development and related issues.
The Tiempo Climate Cyberlibrary is maintained and edited by Mick Kelly and Sarah Granich. The cartoons are created by Lawrence Moore. The site was developed by Mike Salmon and Mick Kelly.
While every effort is made to ensure that information on this site, and on other sites that are referenced here, is accurate, no liability for loss or damage resulting from use of this information can be accepted.

On the Web
FUND
The Climate Framework for Uncertainty, Negotiation and Distribution (FUND) is a so-called integrated assessment model of climate change. FUND was originally set-up to study the role of international capital transfers in climate policy, but it soon evolved into a test-bed for studying impacts of climate change in a dynamic context, and it is now often used to perform cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses of greenhouse gas emission reduction policies, to study equity of climate change and climate policy, and to support game-theoretic investigations into international environmental agreements.
Integrated Assessment Of Climate Change: Model Visualization and Analysis
Model Visualization and Analysis for Climate Change Integrated Assessment supports the community of researchers and policy analysts involved in modeling and assessing the impacts and policy implications of climate and global environmental change. The website provides access to data from climate change research, as well as citations and information related to these efforts. It also provides access to geospatial data relevant to climate change.
New Directions in the Economics and Integrated Assessment of Global Climate Change
New Directions in the Economics and Integrated Assessment of Global Climate Change, from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, critiques the assumptions underlying most current integrated assessment and suggest ways that new and improved models could provide greater insights into climate policies. Published October 2000
Ramsar Factsheets on Wetlands Ecosystem Services
Factsheets of Wetlands Ecosystem Services, from Ramsar, profile the benefits people obtain from wetlands ecosystems. They illustrate the great diversity of ecosystem services delivered by wetlands and their values.
