Key Climate Reports: The 6th (latest) Assessment Reports and additional reports covering many aspects of climate, nature, finance related to climate change prevention, mitigation and adaptation.
Emissions Gap Report: the gap refers to that between pledges and actual reductions as well as pledges and necessary targets.
Archive of Publications and Data: all Assessment Reports prior to the latest round. In addition, it contains older special reports, software and data files useful for purposes relevant to climate change and policy.
TIP: The IPCC links lead to pages that link to many reports. Assessments reports from the three working groups contain predictions with uncertainty levels (high, medium, low), and plenty of background information, supplementary material, and high-level summaries. EA’s might want to start with the Technical Summaries from the latest assessment report and drill-down into full reports as needed.
