{"id":195,"count":550,"description":"Since the 1950s, the ISC \u2014through its predecessor organization, the International Council for Science (ICSU) \u2014 has played a pioneering role in advancing Earth, space, and environmental science to enhance the understanding of the Earth system and its biophysical and human dimensions, as well as outer space. Joint science programs co-sponsored by the ISC and other international organizations, including those within the UN system, have led to major advances in both scientific research and the governance of global issues.\u202fA notable example is ICSU's role in catalyzing international climate science efforts.\r\n\r\nUntil the mid-1950s, international scientific cooperation on climate was limited. The ICSU-led International Geophysical Year (IGY) in 1957\u201358 brought together scientists from over 60 countries for coordinated observations and saw the launch of Sputnik 1. This led to the creation of ICSU's Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) in 1958.\r\n\r\nIGY led directly to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ats.aq\/e\/antarctictreaty.html\">1959 Antarctic Treaty<\/a>, promoting peaceful scientific collaboration. To promote Antarctic research, ICSU established the <a href=\"https:\/\/scar.org\/\">Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)<\/a> in 1958. Around the same time, ICSU founded the <a href=\"https:\/\/scor-int.org\/\">Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR)<\/a> to address global oceanic challenges. All these committees remain active today.\r\n\r\nFollowing the success of IGY, the UN General Assembly invited ICSU to work alongside the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on atmospheric science research. This led to the 1979 World Climate Conference, where experts confirmed the long-term climate impact of rising CO\u2082 levels. ICSU, WMO, and UNEP then launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcrp-climate.org\/\">World Climate Research Programme<\/a> and, in 1985, organized a groundbreaking conference in Villach, Austria. Its findings laid the foundation for periodic climate assessments, ultimately leading to the creation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/\">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)<\/a> in 1988.","link":"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/","name":"Climate","slug":"climate","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Climate Archives - International Science Council<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Climate Archives - International Science Council\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"International Science Council\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"CollectionPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/\",\"name\":\"Climate Archives - International Science Council\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/#website\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Climate\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/\",\"name\":\"International Science Council\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/council.science\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Climate Archives - International Science Council","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Climate Archives - International Science Council","og_url":"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/","og_site_name":"International Science Council","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/","url":"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/","name":"Climate Archives - International Science Council","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/council.science\/#website"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/council.science\/theme\/climate\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/council.science\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Climate"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/council.science\/#website","url":"https:\/\/council.science\/","name":"International Science Council","description":"","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/council.science\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=195"},{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?tags=195"},{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications?tags=195"},{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events?tags=195"},{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile?tags=195"},{"href":"https:\/\/council.science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member?tags=195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
