The role of the IPCC is to assess on a comprehensive,
objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and
socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis
of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options
for adaptation and mitigation. The IPCC does not carry out research nor
does it monitor climate related data or other relevant parameters. It
bases its assessment mainly on peer reviewed and published
scientific/technical literature.
