class="section-content"> <p>Created in 1988 by the <a href="//www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2019/02/WMO_resolution4_on_IPCC_1988.pdf">World Meteorological Organization</a> (WMO) and the <a href="//www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2019/02/UNEP_GC-14_decision_IPCC_1987.pdf">United Nations Environment Programme</a> (UNEP), the objective of the IPCC is to provide governments at all levels with scientific information that they can use to develop climate policies. IPCC reports are also a key input into international climate change negotiations. The IPCC is an organization of governments that are members of the United Nations or WMO. The IPCC currently has <a href="//www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2019/02/ipcc_members.pdf">195 members</a>. Thousands of people from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC. For the assessment reports, experts volunteer their time as IPCC authors to assess the thousands of scientific papers published each year to provide a comprehensive summary of what is known about the drivers of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and how adaptation and mitigation can reduce those risks. An open and transparent review by experts and governments around the world is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure an objective and complete assessment and to reflect a diverse range of views and expertise. Through its assessments, the IPCC identifies the strength of scientific agreement in different areas and indicates where further research is needed. The IPCC does not conduct its own research.</p> </div> <aside class="section-aside type-follow"> <div class="aside-block social"> <h5>Follow</h5> <p class="social-links"> <a href="https://facebook.com/IPCC" title="Facebook" class="social-link-facebook"><i class="icon-social-facebook"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/IPCC_ch" title="Twitter" class="social-link-twitter"><i><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><style>svg{fill:#5492cd}</style><path d="M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2 487 464H345L233.7 318.6 106.5 464H35.8L200.7 275.5 26.8 48H172.4L272.9 180.9 389.2 48zM364.4 421.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42L364.4 421.8z"/></svg></i></a> <a href="https://youtube.com/IPCCGeneva" title="YouTube" class="social-link-youtube"><i class="icon-social-youtube"></i></a> <a href="http://linkedin.com/company/ipcc" title="LinkedIn" class="social-link-linkedin"><i class="icon-social-linkedin"></i></a> <a href="https://instagram.com/IPCC" title="Instagram" class="social-link-instagram"><i class="icon-social-instagram"></i></a> <a href="http://flickr.com/ipccphoto" title="Flickr" class="social-link-flickr"><i class="icon-social-flickr"></i></a> <a href="http://slideshare.com/IPCCGeneva" title="SlideShare" class="social-link-slideshare"><i class="icon-social-slideshare"></i></a> <a href="https://vimeo.com/ipcc" title="Vimeo" class="social-link-vimeo"><i class="icon-social-vimeo"></i></a> </p> </div> <div class="aside-block engage"> <h5>Engage</h5> <p>There are many ways to engage with the IPCC</p> <i class="icon-chevron-alt-down"></i> </div> <div class="aside-block join"> <h5><a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/about/engage_with_the_ipcc">Learn More</a></h5> </div></aside> <footer class="section-footer type-button"> </footer> </div> </section> <section id="about-text-1" class="page-section section-num-3 type-text "> <div class="section-container sr"> <header class="section-header"> <h2>Working Groups and Task Force </h2> </header> <div class="section-content"> <p>The IPCC is divided into three Working Groups and a Task Force. Working Group I deals with The Physical Science Basis of Climate Change, Working Group II with Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability and Working Group III with Mitigation of Climate Change. The main objective of the Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories is to develop and refine a methodology for the calculation and reporting of national greenhouse gas emissions and removals. Alongside the Working Groups and the Task Force, other Task Groups may be established by the Panel for a set time period to consider a specific topic or question. One example is the decision at the 47th Session of the IPCC in Paris in March 2018 to establish a Task Group to improve gender balance and address gender-related issues within the IPCC. That Task Group completed its work and their work was fundamental to the Panel adopting and Gender Policy and Implementation Plan.</p> <p> </p> <p><img class=" wp-image-39542 aligncenter" src="//www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2017/11/Structure.png" alt="" width="792" height="482" /></p> <p><strong>Find out more in these fact sheets:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="//www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2024/04/IPCCFactSheet_WhatisIPCC.pdf">What is the IPCC</a>?
