Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
|
|
|
The role of the IPCC is to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and
transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information
relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate
change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.
The IPCC does not carry out research nor does it monitor climate related
data or other relevant parameters. It bases its assessment mainly on peer
reviewed and published scientific/technical literature.
A main activity of the IPCC is to provide in regular intervals an assessment
of the state of knowledge on climate change. The IPCC also prepares Special
Reports and Technical Papers on topics where independent scientific information
and advice is deemed necessary and it supports the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC) through its work on methodologies for National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
