The IPCC is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.

About us

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. In the same year, the UN General Assembly endorsed the action by WMO and UNEP in jointly establishing the IPCC. The IPCC is a scientific body. It reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change. It does not conduct any research nor does it monitor climate related data or parameters. Thousands of scientists from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary basis. Review is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure an objective and complete assessment of current information. IPCC aims to reflect a range of views and expertise. The Secretariat coordinates all the IPCC work and liaises with Governments. It is supported by WMO and UNEP and hosted at WMO headquarters in Geneva.

    Did climate change cause that recent extreme event in my country? While it is difficult to identify the exact causes of a particular extreme event, the relatively new science of event attribution can quantify the role of climate change in altering the probability & magnitude of some types of weather & climate extremes. There is strong evidence that characteristics of many individual extreme events have already changed because of human-driven changes to the climate system. Find out more ➡️ https://bit.ly/WGIRpt

    Are recent extreme weather events in many parts of the world linked to #climatechange? While it is difficult to identify the exact causes of a particular extreme event, the relatively new science of event attribution can quantify the role of climate change in altering the probability & magnitude of some types of weather & climate extremes. IPCC’s #ClimateChange 2021 report shows that the frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation events have likely increased at the global scale over a majority of land regions with good observational coverage. Heavy precipitation has likely increased on the continental scale over three continents: North America, Europe, and Asia. Human influence, in particular greenhouse gas emissions, is likely the main driver of the observed global-scale intensification of heavy precipitation over land regions. Heavy precipitation will generally become more frequent and more intense with additional #globalwarming.
