Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Produces, in assessment cycles, synthesis reports summarising the state of scientific knowledge on the causes, projections and impacts of climate change. The authoritative scientific reference on climate.
Assessment and synthesis of published scientific literature by working groups, subject to peer review and government approval. The IPCC does not produce primary data; it assesses and ranks the confidence levels of existing knowledge.
Use as the scientific bedrock for framing climate scenarios and justifying physical-hazard assumptions in an insurability analysis. An indispensable authoritative reference.
