- Description
- The establishment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was the United Nations' first step towards formally studying climate change and its impacts. Their formal goal was to "prepare a comprehensive review and recommendations with respect to the state of knowledge of the science of climate change; the social and economic impact of climate change, and potential response strategies and elements for inclusion in a possible future international convention on climate." They've since produced 5 formal Climate Assessment Reports, and a number of additional reports relating to climate change.
