Assessment Reports

These are published materials composed of the full scientific and technical assessment of climate change, generally in three volumes, one for each of the Working Groups of the IPCC, plus a Synthesis Report. Each of the Working Group volumes is composed of individual chapters, an optional Technical Summary and a Summary for Policymakers. The Synthesis Report synthesizes and integrates materials contained within the Assessment Reports and Special Reports and is written in a non-technical style suitable for policymakers and address a broad-range of policy-relevant but policy-neutral questions. It is composed of a longer report and a Summary for Policymakers.

TRANSLATIONS INTO NON-UN LANGUAGES

A number of countries have undertaken translations of IPCC reports into languages that are not official languages of the United Nations. IPCC welcomes these initiatives but would note that the translations have been prepared under the responsibility of the respective country or institutions. The IPCC does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of these translations into non-UN languages. In working to achieve the widest possible dissemination of IPCC knowledge, the IPCC is pleased to assist in making these translations available.

The following translations of the IPCC Third Assessment Report, Climate Change 2001 (TAR), IPCC Fourth Assessment Report , Climate Change 2007 (AR4) and IPCC Fifth Assessment Report , Climate Change 2013 (AR5) and some Special Reports and Technical Papers have been brought to the attention of the IPCC Secretariat:
