62nd Session of the IPCC (IPCC-62)

The 62nd session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-62) will convene in February 2025. The meeting will be the fourth meeting of the seventh assessment cycle.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) established the IPCC in 1988 to “assess, in a comprehensive, objective, open, and transparent manner, the scientific, technical, and socio-economic information relevant to understanding human-induced climate change, its potential impacts, and adaptation and mitigation options”. The IPCC does not undertake new research or monitor climate-related data. Instead, it conducts assessments of the state of climate change knowledge based on published, peer reviewed scientific and technical literature. The Panel’s reports are intended to be policy relevant but not policy prescriptive. They provide key inputs into international climate change negotiations.
