The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific organization established by governments to evaluate and summarize current research on climate change. Its purpose is to provide policymakers with reliable, objective information about the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to global warming. The IPCC reviews extensive scientific data, assesses climate risks, and develops reports that inform international climate policies. Its work helps nations understand how human activities, like burning fossil fuels, are affecting the climate and guides efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to changing conditions.
