First progress report by the IPCC
The IPCC's First Assessment Report was completed in August 1990. He served as the basis for the Framework Convention on Climate of the United Nations (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC). The IPCC reports, which are published every five to six years, are considered to be the “consensus position within climatological experts” with regard to the impact of humans on the earth's climate.
