Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) formed the IPCC in 1988. The IPCC represents the work of over 2,000 scientists, mainly in the atmospheric sciences, but also comprising social, economic and other environmental components potentially impacted by climate change. The IPCC doesn’t conduct original research or monitors climate-related data, but its assessment reports and technical papers play an important role in the creation of climate change policies worldwide. The IPCC played a role in establishing the UNFCCC or the Convention.
