The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) delivered its fifth assessment report on climate change in September 2013. «Climate change threatens our planet, our only home», warned Thomas Stocker from the IPCC at a press conference in Stockholm. The analysis this time around is based on many more data sources, improved climate models and more confident climate knowledge than before. Among the report’s contributors is the Top-level Research Initiative’s NCoE DEFROST, with Professor Torben R. Christensen of Lund University at the helm.
