The Climate Impacts Group was named a recipient of King County, Washington’s 2007 Green Globe Award on April 13, 2007. The King County Green Globe Awards were established at Earth Day 1997 to recognize outstanding achievement in environmental stewardship. The awards are handed out biennially by the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks.

All recipients excel in leadership and activities that foster environmental stewardship by protecting the environment, managing natural resources, and benefiting the community. The CIG received the “Leader in Climate Science Award” for its work on understanding the consequences of natural climate variability and human-caused climate change for the people and resources of the Pacific Northwest.
