IPCC: The Voice of the Climate

Author Kari De Pryck
COLLECTION Académique
The IPCC is now a household name, but most people still don't know how it works. Now, for the first time, a history of this intergovernmental body.

Despite the many internal and external controversies it has had to face since its founding in 1988, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has managed to make a name for itself as a model of international expertise. It has assembled thousands of individuals, scientists and diplomats alike, in a highly successful experiment in cooperation on an international level. Though far from the original vision its founders, who had imagined it as an informal structure serving decision-makers, the IPCC has become an institution supplying an unprecedented form of multilateral scientific diplomacy. This equally unprecedented work aims to tell its story.
