Additional information

Clarification: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) does not recommend particular mitigation strategies or climate policies, and does not recommend geoengineering as a way to limit global warming to 1.5-2 degrees over the next century. Instead, the IPCC will assess the full range of options for the mitigation of climate change within its Fifth Assessment Report, based on peer-reviewed scientific literature.
