IPCC ASSESSMENT REPORTS
The IPCC is now in its 6th assessment cycle, in which the 6th Assessment Report (AR6) is
produced. This is done with contributions by its 3 Working Groups, a Synthesis Report, 3 Special
Reports, and a refinement to its latest Methodology Report. Until the official and final publication
of AR6, the IPCC AR5 provides an overview of the state of knowledge concerning the science of
climate change.
Scientists have observed changes in the Earth’s climate in every region and across the whole climate system for the last century. Many of these changes are unprecedented in thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of years. The worst news is that some changes already set in motion,
like the continuous sea level rise, are irreversible over hundreds (or even thousands) of years.
Through improved observational datasets and our progress in scientific understanding, we have a
much clearer picture of the past, present and future climate, highlighting our responsibility toward
reducing human-caused GHG emissions.
