IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the UN entity responsible for evaluating the scientific basis of climate change. It delivers regular assessments to policymakers, outlining the potential impacts, risks, and response options related to climate change. The IPCC has created a series of scenarios, the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), which outline various potential future development trajectories and the corresponding warming outcomes, spanning from 1.5°C to 5°C.
