The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organisation in 1988 to provide authoritative scientific information on climate change. Since its inception the IPCC has reported with increasing urgency on the threat that climate change poses to the planet.

Their latest reports, published earlier this year, paint a grim picture of life in a warming world, and describe the measures that are needed to fight it, for which only the political will is missing.
