The document summarizes the history and activities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It outlines the IPCC's assessment reports from 1988 to the present, which have informed international agreements like the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement. The IPCC was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to disseminate knowledge about climate change. Current activities include special reports, the sixth assessment cycle through 2022, and outreach events to share information about the IPCC's work.
