INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC).

IPCC Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change

The aim of this report is to know about what is IPCC, its overview, its history, its structure, preparing reports,future work and its scholarship. We have searched this information in IPCC´s web and in wikipedia.

1.WHAT IS IPCC?
The Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Climate change or the
intergovernmental Panel on climate change, known by the acronym
in English IPCC.

2.OVERVIEW
An open and transparent review by experts and governments
around the world is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure
an objective and complete assessment and to reflect a diverse
range of views and expertise. Through its assessments, the IPCC
identifies the strength of scientific agreement in different areas and
indicates where further research is needed. The IPCC does not
conduct its own research.

3.History of the IPCC
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 to
provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on the current state of knowledge about climate change.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) in 1988.
The establishment of the IPCC was endorsed by UN General Assembly in 1988. Its initial task, as outlined in UN General Assembly Resolution 43/53 of 6 December 1988, was to prepare a comprehensive review and recommendations with respect to the state of knowledge of the science of climate change; the social and economic impact of climate change, and potential response strategies and elements for inclusion in a possible future international convention on climate.
In 1990, the First IPCC Assessment Report (FAR) underlined the importance of climate
change as a challenge with global consequences and requiring international cooperation. It played a decisive role in the creation of the UNFCCC, the key international treaty to reduce global warming and cope with the consequences of climate change.
In 2007, the IPCC and U.S. Vice-President Al Gore were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about manmadeclimate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are neededto counteract such change”

4. STRUCTURE
Representatives of IPCC member governments meet one or more times a year in Plenary Sessions of the Panel. They elect a Bureau of scientists for the duration of an assessment cycle. Governments
and Observer Organizations nominate, and Bureau members select
experts to prepare IPCC reports. They are supported by the IPCC
Secretariat and the Technical Support Units of the Working Groups
and Task Force.

5. PREPARING REPORTS:
Assessment Reports consist of contributions from each Working
Group and a Synthesis Report integrating these contributions and
any Special Reports prepared in that assessment cycle. The IPCC
also produces Special Reports on specific issues agreed by its
member governments and Methodology Reports that provide
practical guidelines for the preparation of greenhouse gas
inventories.



6.FUTURE WORK
At its 43rd Session in April 2016, the IPCC decided to prepare
proposals for aligning the work of the IPCC during its Seventh
Assessment Report (AR7) cycle with the needs of the global
stocktake under the Paris Agreement. At its 46th Session in
September 2017, the Panel established a Task Group on the
Alignment of the IPCC Cycles and the Global Stocktake. At the 47th
Session in March 2018, the Panel adopted the Task Group’s terms
of reference and renamed it Task Group on the Organization of the
Future Work of the IPCC in Light of the Global Stocktake.

7.SCHOLARSHIP
The IPCC Scholarship Programme provides scholarships for PhD
students from developing countries for research that advances the
understanding of the scientific basis of risks of climate change, its
potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.

E NVIROMENTAL POLLUTION/ CONTAMINATION The aim of this report is to look at the causes and consequences of environmental pollution and contamination. Our sources include facts and figures from several recent websites. We have searched information related with the negative effects, the types of contamination and the possible solutions to avoid these problems. We have used information, photos and several videos we have found in the Internet. The objective of this project is to promote all the information we found out about this topic and teach people how we can prevent this kind of problems. 1. WHAT IS ENVIROMENTAL POLLUTION? Environmental pollution   is one of the most serious problems facing humanity and other life forms on our planet today.  Environmental pollution  is defined as “the contamination of  the physical and biological components of the   earth/atmosphere   system to such an extent that normal environmental processes are adversely affected.”

GLOBAL WARMING AND NATURAL DISASTERS  The aim of this report is to explain the relathionship of both topics and, how the climate change can affect the Earth and causes natural disasters. What is the global warming? Global warming is the increase of the overall temperature in the atmosphere, shown by temperature measurements and by multiple effects of the warming. It is generally attributed to the greenhouse effect gases. What are global warming effects? Global warming is projected to have a number of effects on the oceans. That effects include tha glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It has become clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than at any time in the last 800,000 years. Greenhouse effect We often call the result global war

CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE / GREENHOUSE EFFECT GREENHOUSE EFFECT Introduction   T he aim of this report is to explain what is the greenhouse effect, what are its positives and negatives effects, and how we can contribute to decrease the hight emission of gases to the atmosphere. What is the Greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist. Greenhouse effect and human activities The problem w
