The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by two United Nations organizations, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to assess the "risk of human-induced climate change". The Panel is open to all members of the WMO and UNEP.

IPCC reports are widely cited http://books.nap.edu/html/climatechange/summary.html http://www.ametsoc.org/policy/climatechangeresearch_2003.html in almost any debate related to climate change http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/downloaddoc.asp?id=1630 http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/displaypagedoc.asp?id=11509. The reports have been influential in forming national and international responses to climate change. A few of the scientists whose work is summarized in these reports have accused the IPCC of bias.
