Explanation:

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change.It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its
potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.
IPCC assessments provide a scientific basis for governments at all levels to develop climate related policies, and they underlie negotiations at the UN Climate Conference -the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). As an intergovernmental body, membership of the IPCC is open to all member countries of theUnited Nations (UN) and WMO. Currently 195countries are Members of the IPCC.
The IPCC works by assessing published literature. It does not conduct its own scientific research. IPCC assessments are written by hundreds of leading scientists who volunteer their time and expertise as Coordinating Lead Authors and Lead Authors of the reports. They enlist hundreds of other experts as Contributing Authors to provide complementary expertise in specific areas.
