Assessment Reports
IPCC Full Assessment Reports compile the knowledge on climate processes, impact, adaptation and mitigation.
The reports are compiled over a range of five to seven years. More than thousand scientists around the world are involved as authors or reviewers. The reports consist of several volumes of about 1000 pages each.
The reports normally contain 3 volumes (one volume per working group: WG I, WG II, WG III), as well as a cross-group synthesis report. In addition, there is a general summary and a summary especially for policy makers.
Latest Assessment Report
The Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the IPCC presents the latest state of scientific knowledge. That knowledge will be updated with the Sixth Assessment Report. This report will be published in 2021.
