The IPCC is composed of 195 member states and thousands of researchers from all over the world. Its reports are the result of these researchers’ contributions, extensive literature reviews, rigorous peer-review processes and collaborations with NGOs, energy sectors and other external climate experts. This non-politically motivated, science-driven approach is key to the IPCC’s credibility as their work goes on to inform policymakers, governments, international negotiations and climate action.
