Sixth Assessment Report (AR6): IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC)

Joy Jacqueline PereiraVice Chair, IPCC Working Group 2

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.”

“IPCC reports should be neutral with respect to policy, although they may need to deal objectively with scientific, technical and socio-economic factors relevant to the application of particular policies.”
