The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a UN-sponsored environmental organization led by government scientists, but also involving several hundred academic scientists and researchers from many nations. The IPCC monitors the available information about climate change and has published four major reports reviewing the latest climate science. The IPCC was founded in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Program.


The IPCC was one of the forces behind the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and in 1996 produced a report claiming claiming to have found proof for anthopogenic global warming.
