This website is also great to find updated research information on because it works along side researchers daily to teach and educate the public on how it is effecting us now, and what is to come given certain circumstances.
The US EPA - Since the topic is dealing with countries and climate change, a good place to start would be with the United States, the country with the highest carbon emissions. This website is for and based on the United States, and deals with four major aspects of the US and climate change.

The GEF - One hundred and seventy eight countries are part of the Global Environmental Facility.

Although undergoing change, the web site is up to date, well organized, credible and factual.

This is another credible source and is very informational, since these are direct statements and reports from meetings of most countries.
