The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) plays a pivotal role in global climate policy, providing scientific assessments that inform international agreements and national strategies. Established by the WMO and UNEP, the IPCC evaluates climate change science and offers recommendations for mitigation and adaptation. Its reports guide actions like the EU's climate-neutral goal and India's renewable energy targets, influencing legislation worldwide.
