Forum IPCC - Fourth Assessment Report

The IPCC report 2007 and its relevance for Switzerland

The IPCC Fourth Assessment Report 2007 represents the first major global assessment of climate change science in six years. The periodic assessments of the causes, impacts and possible response strategies to climate change are the most comprehensive and up-to-date reports available on the subject. They form the standard reference for all concerned with climate change in academia, government and industry worldwide. Through three working groups, many hundreds of international experts assess climate change in this Fourth Assessment Report.
