The IPCC was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the UN Environment Programme. The IPCC is responsible for providing the scientific and technical foundation for the United Nations Framwork Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), primarily through the publication of periodic assessment reports (see "Second Assessment Report" and "Third Assessment Report").
A body made up of the world's leading climate scientists established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to assess the available scientific, technical and socio-economic information in the field of climate change.

An organisation established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme to provide the most widely accepted information available about climate change. The IPCC does not conduct new research or monitor climate-related data. Its mandate is to assess existing data and to produce balanced and objective publications. For more information see Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Switzerland).
Scientific panel established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 1988. The Panel's role is to assess through a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent process the best available scientific, technical and socio-economic information on climate change from around the world.
The assemblage of scientists, economists and other experts created by the United Nations to advise member nations in climate negotiations.
The IPCC was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the UN Environment Programme. It conducts rigorous surveys of the world-wide technical and scientific literature and publishes assessment reports that are widely recognized as the most credible existing sources of information on climate change. The IPCC also works on methodologies and responds to specific requests from the Convention's subsidiary bodies.

The body established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to objectively assess scientific, technical and socioeconomic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.
A panel set up by the United Nations in 1988 to review scientific information on climate change. This panel involves over 2,000 of the world's climate experts. Many of the climate change facts and future predictions we read about come from information reviewed by the IPCC.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988. The purpose of the IPCC is to assess information in the scientific and technical literature related to all significant components of the issue of climate change. The IPCC draws upon hundreds of the world's expert scientists as authors and thousands as expert reviewers. Leading experts on climate change and environmental, social, and economic sciences from all over the world have helped the IPCC to prepare periodic assessments of the scientific underpinnings for understanding global climate change, its consequences and potential adaptation and mitigation responses.
established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the IPCC is the authoritative international body charged with studying climate change. The IPCC surveys the worldwide technical and scientific literature on climate change and publishes assessment reports. Its widely quoted 1995 report found that "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate."
A panel established jointly in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and UNEP to assess scientific information relating to climate change and formulate realistic response strategies. The IPCC is the Framework Convention's scientific advisory body.

The organization established jointly by the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988 to assess information in the scientific and technical literature related to all significant components of the issue of climate change. Leading experts on climate change and environmental, social, and economic sciences from some 60 nations help the IPCC to prepare periodic assessments of the scientific basis for statements on global climate change and its consequences.

A large scientific body established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to determine the "risk of human-induced climate change". The IPCC publishes thorough, well researched reports comprising the bulk of scientific research in the area of climate change.
The IPCC was established jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988. The purpose of the IPCC is to assess information in the scientific and technical literature related to all significant components of the issue of climate change. With its capacity for reporting on climate change, its consequences, and the viability of adaptation and mitigation measures, the IPCC is also looked to as the official advisory body to the world's governments on the state of the science of the climate change issue. IPCC organized the development of internationally accepted methods for conducting national greenhouse gas emission inventories. Link

Intergovernmental body that addresses climate change science. The role of the IPCC is to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change ( www.ipcc.ch).
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by two United Nations organizations, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), to evaluate the risk of climate changebrought on by humans , based mainly on peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature.The IPCC does not carry out research nor does it monitor climate related data or other relevant parameters. It bases its assessment mainly on peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature. (http://www.ipcc.ch/about/about.htm About IPCC) The Panel is open to all members of the WMO and UNEP.
