4. Virtual Library! 
   1. World Climate Teach-in-Day
      This organization proposes, on its website, a whole library on climate change studies. Its aim is to disseminate scientific information on climate change in order to make it understandable to a broad audience. 
   2. International Energy Agency (IEA)
      The Agency put at your disposal, on its website, a database on policies and measures taken by states all over the world to struggle against climate change, with a smart search engine.
   3. Resources from ICIMOD
      The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), a regional knowledge development and learning centre serving the eight regional member countries of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas works to develop an economically and environmentally sound mountain ecosystem to improve the living standards of mountain populations. You can download all of ICIMOD’s publications free-of-charge from ICIMOD Books online. Publications on climate change can be accessed directly via the climate change section. A publication on the impact of climate change in mountainous regions called “Mountains of the world – Ecosystem services in a time of global and climate change” published in 2010 can be downloaded here.
   4. NASA portal on climate change
      The American national Aeronautics and Space Administration proposes document resources and very interesting statistics about ongoing climate change.
   5. The Klimaportal of the Swiss Forum for Climate and Global Change
      You could find document resources, bibliographies and very important statistics on factors as well as consequences of climate change, especially on snow conditions, on weather, on energy resources or on health. This website is a product of the Swiss Federal Government Advisory Body on Climate Change.
   6. UNEP Gateway
      The United Nations Environment Programme, on its website dedicated to the climate change, also proposes some analysis and documents for a broader audience, in addition to the Climate Change United Nations Gateway whose link is available in the top-right of this page.
   7. Austrian Federal Government climate portal
      The Austrian Federal Government proposes, on its portal dedicated to the climate change, one section dedicated to international publications on this topic.
   8. The global outlook for ice and snow provides an up-to-date review of the state of the environment and the trends in ice and snow covered regions of the world, including the Alps. It includes case-studies, maps and graphics and serves as well as an educational resource than a reference one too. 
   9. The world glacier monitoring service collects standardised observations on changes (mass, volume, area, length) of glaciers over time (glacier fluctuations) as well as statistical information on the distribution of perennial surface ice (glacier inventories). Such data are high priority key variables in climate system monitoring. WGMS with UNEP publish reports on global Climate Change of glaciers. 
   10. The intergovernmental panel on Climate Change publishes various types of reports on the Climate Change evolution.
   11. EU publications and initiatives on climate change
   12. Resources from the COP 16 dedicated to climate change in mountains, including Alpine Convention documentation  
   13. Mountains and Climate Change. From understanding to action by the University of Bern, 2009
