Established by the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meterological Organization, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body on assessing climate change. It is a scientific body, composed of hundreds of scientists. IPCC assesses existing scientific, technical and socio-economic information in order to increase worldwide understanding of climate change, climate variability and climate impacts. The organization’s website offers a wealth of resources, most highly technical, but well worth a look by all who are interested in climate change.
