It is also the home for the the California Climate Change Center, a "virtual" research and information website operated by the California Energy Commission through its Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program.

The website originally was created in 1998 by the California Energy Commission, combining info from its Climate Change Program Office and the PIER Program's climate change research unit. The site was expanded into a website Portal to combine the Energy Commission's efforts with input from other state agencies.

Information on his website is coordinated by the California Environmental Protection Agency and the Climate Action Team.

The website was and redesigned and updated in April 2008 following standards set by the state's Department of Technology Services.
