The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is set to release the last instalment of its sixth assessment report on March 20.
The IPCC has published three special reports that evaluate the scientific, technical, and socioeconomic data relating to climate change since 2015.
In addition, the panel has released three working group findings on the physical science foundation, impacts, adaptability, and vulnerability, as well as climate change mitigation.
The IPCC said in a statement on Monday that the final report, which is soon to be published, integrates and summarizes the results of the six investigations.
The statement reads, “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began its meeting today to approve the synthesis report to the sixth assessment report,”.

“The synthesis report is the final instalment of the IPCC’s sixth assessment report. It integrates and summarises the findings of the six reports released by the IPCC during the current cycle which began in 2015. This includes three special reports and the three IPCC working group contributions to the sixth assessment report.
“During this meeting, the IPCC will approve the summary for policymakers of the synthesis report line by line. The panel will also adopt the longer report section by section.”
The reports, according to IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee, have demonstrated that the world is capable of addressing the climate catastrophe.
He asserted that the synthesis report will significantly influence discussions at the UN climate conference (COP28) taking place in the United Arab Emirates in December.
