What is the IPCC?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a United Nations body, established to assess scientific information on climate change. It makes use of existing research to inform global climate policies, but does not carry out its own research. The IPCC includes 195 member countries and thousands of volunteer scientists, ensuring diverse and comprehensive global perspectives.

Its focus is split into three key segments:

  1. Physical science basis
  2. Impacts and adaptation
  3. Mitigation strategies
