## Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The IPCC is the United Nations body responsible for assessing the science related to climate change. Established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), it synthesises peer-reviewed scientific literature and provides policymakers with regular assessment reports. These reports are not policy-prescriptive, but they underpin global negotiations under the UNFCCC and shape national climate strategies.

### Relationship to Lemu

While the IPCC focuses primarily on climate change, its reports increasingly emphasise the links between climate and biodiversity. Lemu’s Nature Intelligence provides complementary data on ecosystems and biodiversity, offering decision-makers a fuller picture of how climate change and nature loss are intertwined.

### Examples in Practice

💡

A ****government** references IPCC scenarios in developing its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.

💡

A ****development bank** uses IPCC climate projections in risk assessments for infrastructure financing.

💡

A ****multinational agribusiness** aligns its climate risk disclosures with IPCC data to anticipate supply chain disruptions.

### Cross-Mapping with Other Frameworks

- [**UNFCCC**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/unfccc/): IPCC reports are a scientific foundation for negotiations.
- [**TNFD**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/tnfd/): Builds on IPCC approaches by integrating nature-related risks alongside climate risks.
- [**SBTN**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/sbtn/): Complements IPCC’s climate focus with actionable science for biodiversity targets.
