OPEC and the Fossil Fuel Lobby Links

For all countries:

First stop is to visit and download the National Communication of your country to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) Secretariat.  This is the official report of greenhouse gas emissions, projected impacts and solutions for each country.  All are in PDF format.  Many use color charts, tables and graphics -- although not required, it is recommended that you use a color printer.  Consider this your main textbook expense for the class!

(Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia has not yet submitted a national communication.  Their information can be obtained through other reports -- see below.)
