The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific body established in 1988 by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization. Its primary role is to assess and summarize the latest research on climate change, its impacts, and potential adaptation and mitigation strategies. The IPCC produces comprehensive reports that inform policymakers and the public about the state of climate science. The IPCC operates through contributions from thousands of scientists worldwide, who volunteer their expertise. These reports are crucial for understanding the urgency of climate action and guiding international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming.
