The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) was jointly
established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the
United Nations Envir- ment Programme (UNEP) to assess the
scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for
the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change.
Since its inception the IPCC has produced a series of comprehensive
- sessment Reports, Special Reports and Technical Papers on the
state of the und- standing of causes of climate change, its
potential impacts, and options for response strategies. In 1998,
Working Group III (WG III) of the ongoing Third Assessment was
charged by the IPCC Plenary to assess the scientific, technical,
environmental, economic and social aspects of the mitigation of
climate change and a series of cross-cutting issues such as equity,
development and sustainability. Its mandate was changed from a
predominantly disciplinary assessment of the economic and social
dimensions of climate change in the Second Assessment Report to an
interdisciplinary assessment of the options to control the
emissions of greenhouse gases and/or enhance their sinks. One key
issue of the IPCC Third Assessment Report (TAR) on mitigation of
climate change, which has undergone an extensive review by
scientists and governments, is the role of present and future
behaviour of individuals, households, private and p- lic companies,
public authorities and other stakeholders.
