=== About the IPCC reports ===
The IPCC prepares comprehensive Assessment Reports about the state of scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for reducing the rate at which climate change is taking place. The IPCC also produces Special Reports on specific topics agreed by its member governments, as well as Methodology Reports that provide practical guidelines for the preparation of greenhouse gas inventories. The Synthesis Report integrates the Assessment Report and any Special Reports prepared during an assessment cycle. A report consists of a number of chapters. It may also include a Technical Summary, prepared by the authors. Assessment Reports, Special Reports and the Synthesis Report include a Summary for Policymakers that is prepared by the authors and approved line by line by a Plenary Session of the IPCC with the delegates in dialogue with the authors.
'''The IPCC regularly produces in-depth Assessment Reports covering the current state of scientific, technical, and socio-economic understanding of climate change — including its effects, projected risks, and measures to slow its progression.''' Beyond the comprehensive Working group Reports, the IPCC publishes Special Reports on focused topics, along with Methodology Reports that offer practical guidance for compiling greenhouse gas inventories. The Synthesis Report then brings together findings from the Working group Reports and any Special Reports produced within a given assessment cycle.

Welcome to the Climate Knowledge Graph

What is the Climate Knowledge Graph (CKG)?

Logo Climate Knowledge Graph

Climate Knowledge Graph is an R&D project with the goal of making climate change knowledge held in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report more accessible using open science methods and FAIR data principles. At the core of the project is the creation of a knowledge graph which will support search and publishing, data analysis, and AI LLM use. The aim of the project is to service expert and citizen science communities, support multilingualism, and enable global access.

About the IPCC

Logo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) regularly evaluates the scientific foundations of climate change, examining its consequences, future risks, and the strategies available for both adaptation and mitigation. Established in 1988, the IPCC's core mission is to equip governments at every level with reliable scientific knowledge to inform their climate policies. Its reports also play a vital role in shaping international climate negotiations.

About the IPCC reports

The IPCC regularly produces in-depth Assessment Reports covering the current state of scientific, technical, and socio-economic understanding of climate change — including its effects, projected risks, and measures to slow its progression. Beyond the comprehensive Working group Reports, the IPCC publishes Special Reports on focused topics, along with Methodology Reports that offer practical guidance for compiling greenhouse gas inventories. The Synthesis Report then brings together findings from the Working group Reports and any Special Reports produced within a given assessment cycle.

IPCC assessment cycles

Comprehensive scientific assessment reports are published every 5 to 7 years. The IPCC is currently in its seventh assessment cycle.
