Cooperation on climate change necessary to protect the planet

Participants from over 130 member countries attended the 62nd plenary session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, held recently in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.

Since its establishment in 1988, the IPCC has created a valuable platform for communication and cooperation among governments and experts. The vast array of scientific research findings gathered by the IPCC has deepened humanity's understanding of climate science and provided a robust scientific basis for strengthening and improving global climate governance.

For instance, IPCC reports have significantly influenced the formulation of key international climate policies, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. These reports have provided the scientific basis for governments to develop their climate policies, energy strategies and sustainable development plans.
