The IPCC is composed of thousands of scientists worldwide. It doesn't conduct original research, but reviews existing studies and publishes reports, including assessments, special reports, and guidelines for measuring greenhouse gas emissions. The IPCC's work has been pivotal in shaping international agreements like the Paris Accord, emphasizing the urgent need for climate action.
