Climate Science
Climate change is impacting different regions and systems in different ways. This category contains key resources, including official reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that provide the latest insights on how climate change is happening and the impacts it is having on the world. It also contains background and introductory articles on climate science, including on how climate change projections are produced and interpreted.
