History and Mission

The Pew Center on Global Climate Change was established in 1998 as a non-profit, non-partisan and independent organization. The Center's mission is to provide credible information, straight answers, and innovative solutions in the effort to address global climate change. 

Working on an issue that is often polarized and politicized, the Pew Center provides a forum for objective research and analysis and for the development of pragmatic policies and solutions. Now in its tenth year, the Pew Center has become a leading voice for sensible action to address the most pressing global environmental problem of the 21^st century. 

A nonprofit, tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3), the Pew Center is supported by a range of individuals and charitable organizations.
