IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
Intergovernmental body established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the UN Environment Programme. It assesses the state of scientific knowledge on climate change, its impacts and adaptation and mitigation options, without conducting research itself. Its Sixth Assessment Report was completed in 2023; the seventh cycle is under way.
