Next IPCC Report 2014 Release 07 May 08

IISD logoThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) held meetings April 9-10, 2008 in Budapest, Hungary to discuss the IPCC's future and key aspects of its work programme for the next several years. The meeting was the first since release of the Fourth Assessment Report November 2007 and brought together governments, lead authors, UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, industry and academia.

The IPCC agreed to prepare a Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and to retain the current Working Groups. To enable use of new scenarios in the AR5, the Panel requested delivery of Working Group 1 report by early 2013 and completion of other Working Group reports and the Synthesis Report at the earliest feasible date in 2014.

The Panel also adopted the Technical Paper on Climate Change and Water and agreed to prepare a Special Report on Renewable Energy, by 2010.

The next IPCC session is in Geneva, Switzerland, 1-4 September 2008.
