The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It provides a clear scientific assessment of climate change, its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts, and possible adaptation and mitigation strategies.
The IPCC does not conduct its own research but evaluates scientific, technical, and socio-economic information relevant to understanding human-induced climate change and its risks.
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (CSIR-NEERI) is an Indian research institution focused on environmental science and engineering. It has been designated as the Nodal Agency for Waste Sector GHG emissions, particularly related to solid waste and wastewater management in India.
CSIR-NEERI plays a crucial role in national and global climate change initiatives by contributing to Biennial Update Reports (BUR), National Communication (NATCOM), and Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR) submitted to the Government of India and the UNFCCC.
A national report submitted by non-Annex I countries under the UNFCCC, providing updates on national greenhouse gas inventories, mitigation actions, and support received.
A comprehensive report submitted to the UNFCCC, outlining a country’s climate change strategies, policies, vulnerability assessments, and mitigation measures.
A reporting requirement under the Paris Agreement, ensuring transparency in climate action by detailing national GHG inventories, NDC progress, and climate finance.
