Material Detail

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 1988. Its main objective was to assess scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to the understanding of human induced climate change, potential impacts of climate change and options for mitigation and adaptation. The IPCC has completed three assessment reports, developed methodology guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories, special reports and technical papers. The IPCC has three working groups and a task force: Working Group I (WG I): The science of climate change; Working Group II (WG II): Impacts, adaptation and vulnerability; Working Group III (WG III): Mitigation of climate change; Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI). The TFI was established by the IPCC, at its 14th session (October 1998), to oversee the IPCC National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme (IPCC-NGGIP).
