IPCC

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is the United Nations body responsible for assessing the science related to climate change. It was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its impacts, and potential future risks, as well as strategies for adaptation and mitigation.

🌍 What the IPCC Does

• Publishes Assessment Reports: These are comprehensive reviews of the latest climate science. The most recent is the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).

• Guides Climate Policy: IPCC findings inform global agreements like the Paris Agreement.

• Develops Methodologies: Including guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories, such as how to account for Harvested Wood Products (HWP).

There’s also a Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, which develops methods for countries to report emissions, including from land use and forestry.
