Center for Global & Regional Environmental Research

At CGRER, we believe coping with environmental change requires objective research data to make informed decisions.

Though we're a research institute first and foremost, we also stress education and outreach efforts to help Iowans better understand the environmental challenges we face. We aim to provide research findings on key environmental impacts to decision-makers at all levels, so that they may make more informed choices.

With growing consensus on climate science, where do we go from here? Join us for discussion of the recent Paris Agreement, climate change impacts in Iowa and strategies for mitigation, and opportunities for more sustainable living and cities.

Changes in the climate have our attention today, and many of us share an anxiety about looming negative consequences for our planet. But researchers sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) may have found an even more personal implication of climate change: It can hurt your feelings.
