IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

IPCC assessments and special reports are prepared by three Working Groups, each looking at a different aspect of the science related to climate change : Working Group I (The Physical Science Basis), Working Group II (Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability), and Working Group III ( Mitigation of Climate Change ).

The IPCC report shows that the world must peak its emissions by 2025 to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C and prevent the worst effects of climate change . Yet global emissions continue to rise.
10 Big Findings from the 2023 IPCC Report on Climate Change

Drawing on the findings of 234 scientists on the physical science of climate change , 270 scientists on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change , and 278 scientists on climate change mitigation , this IPCC synthesis report provides the most comprehensive, best available scientific assessment of climate change .
"This Synthesis Report (SYR) of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) summarises the state of knowledge of climate change , its widespread impacts and risks, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Reports IPCC
Reports The IPCC prepares comprehensive Assessment Reports about knowledge on climate change , its causes, potential impacts and response options. The IPCC also produces Special Reports , which are an assessment on a specific issue and Methodology Reports , which provide practical guidelines for the preparation of greenhouse gas inventories.
Quantitative mitigation findings based on emissions scenarios submitted to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) play an authoritative role in climate policy and decision making.

Strategies to improve the impact of the IPCC Special Report on Climate ...
This Perspective proposes transformational strategies to accelerate and upscale the impact of the planned Special Report on Climate Change and Cities in the IPCC seventh assessment cycle.
This IPCC synthesis report , outlines the many options that can be taken now, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change . The study, "released on 20 March 2023 following a week-long IPCC session in Interlaken, brings into sharp focus the losses and damages experienced now, and expected to continue into the future, which are hitting the most vulnerable ...
IPCC, 2023
The IPCC's mandate is to distill and communicate the science of climate change . In practice, this effort focuses mainly on the natural sciences and the report gives little attention to the potentially important role of the social sciences.









The latest IPCC report outlines how to tackle climate change , including reductions in fossil fuel use, energy efficiency, electrification, the rapid uptake of low-emission energy sources and the use of alternative energy carriers.
