Established by the World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environment Programme, the document outlines the scientific framework for assessing mitigation pathways, climate impacts, and the global response within the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. In 2015, governments adopted the Paris Agreement and invited the panel to prepare this assessment for publication in October 2018. The text explains the rigorous writing and review process involving ninety-one authors and over 42,000 expert and government comments to ensure policy relevance and scientific robustness. It further details essential research concepts such as carbon budgets, net zero emissions, and temperature overshoot.
