Okay, so here’s the story. Back in the late 2000s, Virginia needed a plan. Sea levels were rising, and the climate was changing. Badly.

That’s where we came in. We were the Virginia Commission on Climate Change. A mix of scientists, policymakers, and just regular folks who cared. Our mission? To tackle this problem head-on.

The result? A big report in 2008. A blueprint. But we knew it couldn’t just sit on a shelf gathering dust.

That’s why we’re still here.

We want to make sure that research stays alive. Easy to find. Useful.

Think of us as guardians of the original commission’s work. We want to pass it on to the next generation of Virginians.

What guides us?

• Public Service
• Data-Driven Integrity

What makes us different? We were there from the start. Not just talking heads. We give you the real deal. Original documents. The why behind Virginia’s climate plan.

Why is this important? Because knowing where we’ve been helps us figure out where we’re going.

This is for you. Whether you’re a student, an advocate, or just someone who lives here. We’re giving you direct access to the info. No filter.

And we’re not stopping there. We’re building on the archive. Connecting the dots. From then to now.
