Assessment Reports
At regular intervals, the IPCC presents comprehensive scientific assessments of the existing scientific, technical and socioeconomic literature on climate change. The broad and geographically-balanced participation of experts from all relevant fields of knowledge and the rigorous and transparent multi-stage review process result in authoritative and unbiased reports. The Forth Assessment Report (AR4) has been published in 2007 and the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) will be finalized in 2014. To provide the best scientific knowledge to stakeholders, the IPCC WG III is leading a number of activities such as the publication of Special Reports and hosting expert meetings.
- Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)
- The outlines of the Working Group contributions to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) have been finalized. According to the timetable agreed by the IPCC at its 32st Session in Busan, Republic of Korea, in October 2009, the Working Group III contribution to the AR5, Climate Change 2014: Mitigation of Climate Change, will be released in April 2014.
- Fourth Assessment Report of WGIII
- The report analyses mitigation options for the main economic sectors in the near-term. It provides information on long-term mitigation strategies for various stabilization levels, paying special attention to implications of different short-term strategies for achieving long-term goals. It also addresses the relationship between mitigation and sustainable development.
