About the IPCC
皇冠体育app IPCC is a scientific body of the United Nations that draws on the expertise of thousands of scientists from around the world to assess the science of climate change. 皇冠体育app IPCC provides policy makers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as options for adaptation and mitigation. IPCC reports are relevant to policy, but they are policy neutral and not prescriptive.
IPCC assessments are highly influential. 皇冠体育appy informed the creation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), drove the Paris Agreement鈥檚 long-term temperature goal to limit global temperature rise to well-below 2掳C and pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5掳C, and underpinned the agreement of the Glasgow Climate Pact. 皇冠体育app 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5掳C was also a major influence on the and led to the adoption of net zero targets in over 145 countries around the world.
IPCC Assessment Reports are released on a roughly 5 to 7 year cycle. 皇冠体育app Sixth Assessment cycle concluded in 2023 with the publication of the sixth Synthesis Report. 皇冠体育app Seventh Assessment cycle began in January 2024 and is expected to run until 2029.
