NEW YORK, April 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- To mark Earth Day, we present a selection of Carnegie Council resources on climate change and sustainability. Our contributors address ways to cope with the alarming changes brought about by climate change and the increasing degradation of our environment.

In all likelihood, some island nations and endangered species are already doomed. Yet our authors believe that it's still not too late for the planet as a whole. From discussions at the international level to local projects, some progress has been made, and there are plenty of good ideas. But time is running out.

Resources include articles, videos, audios, and transcripts. You can find this collection at
