Zoja Surroi - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The topic I’ve chosen to elaborate is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The IPCC is an epistemic community that assesses global scientific research done on Climate Change, and in accordance, publishes reports every 5-6 years, which include suggestion of what steps should be taken to prevent the risks that this issue imposes. Therefore, the intergovernmental panel holds great responsibility since it gauges if the world should react or not to an issue that can be potentially fatal.
This paper therefore, deconstructs the IPCC by validating its structure, methods, and its probable political influences that result from being created and linked to governments and moreover if all of these factors have resulted in the IPCC being a political-scientific panel rather than a scientific one.
