Sigma Xi, a scientific research society and The UN Foundation are calling for more efficient transportation, commercial, and residential sectors. The technology already exists to accomplish this. This action was initiated by recent published research saying that temeratures have increased 2.5 degrees Celcius since 1750.
The UN Foundation was created by Ted Turner who donated $1 Billion over 10 years for pressing world problems.
The Foundation is calling for immediate policy changes by individual counties. This is a state level system of analysis.

This report defines the seriousness and urgency that must characterize global efforts to respond to the unfolding and far-reaching challenge of climate change,” said Timothy Wirth, president of the U.N. Foundation. “There is tremendous economic opportunity in doing so.”
The foundation was created in 1998 with entrepreneur and philanthropist Ted Turner’s pledge of a $1 billion donation over 10 years to support U.N. causes. The organization builds and implements public-private partnerships to address the world’s most pressing problems and works to broaden support for the United Nations through advocacy and public outreach.
