Convention on Biological Diversity
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was formulated in December 1993. At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, world leaders agreed on a comprehensive strategy for "sustainable development". One of the key agreements adopted at Rio was the CBD. This pact among the vast majority of the world's governments sets out commitments for maintaining the world's ecological systems as while pursuing economic development. The Convention establishes three main goals: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits from the use of genetic resources.

Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES)
CIRES researchers explore all aspects of the earth system and search for ways to better understand how natural and human-made disturbances impact our planet. CIRES informs decision-makers and the public about how to best ensure a sustainable future environment. CIRES is a joint institute of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Colorado at Boulder, with five centers: Climate Diagnostics, Earth Science & Observation, Limnology, National Snow & Ice Data, and Science & Technology Policy.
