CLEAN : IPCC conference comes to a close

Edgar from Diplomat East Africa introduces a discussion on climate change, focusing on the IPCC's assessment reports. The IPCC has issued five reports since 1989, with the latest in 2014 being the most comprehensive. These reports require significant volunteer effort, and while more frequent reports could be beneficial, practical limitations exist. Special reports address specific issues between assessment cycles. The IPCC aims to inform policymakers and society, emphasizing integration with the UNFCCC.

In what ways does the IPCC integrate its findings with the UNFCCC?
