Maine State Climate Office
The Maine State Climate Office resides within the Climate Change Institute, a research center studying the causes and consequences of the Earth's natural climate variability. The scholars come from fields a diverse as biology, earth science, history, computer science, anthropology/archaeology, and engineering. Recognizing the need for a centralized, neutral source of climate information specific to Maine, University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Maine Sea Grant created Maine Climate News in partnership with George Jacobson, Maine State Climatologist, in 2009.

Colorado Communities for Climate Action
Colorado Communities for Climate Action is a coalition of 34 local governments across the state advocating for stronger state and federal climate policy. The coalition was launched in 2017, with support from the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization. The coalition recognizes that their local government members "have a unique perspective on the threats and challenges that climate change poses" and that meeting local climate goals requires effective state and federal policy.
