Editing IPCC Third Assessment Report (section)

==Working groups==
{{IPCC}}
The IPCC was established in 1988 by the [[United Nations Environment Programme]] (UNEP) and the UN's [[World Meteorological Organization]] (WMO) "... to assess scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation."<ref>[http://www.ipcc.ch/ IPCC website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170915050210/http://www.ipcc.ch/ |date=2017-09-15 }}&</ref> The IPCC is organized as three [[working group]]s (WG) and a [[task force]] [https://web.archive.org/web/19960101/http://www.ipcc.ch/about/about.htm]:

* WGI: Scientific aspects of climate (see {{Harvnb|IPCC TAR WG1|2001}}).
* WGII: Vulnerability, consequences, and options (see {{Harvnb|IPCC TAR WG2|2001}}).
* WGIII: Limitation and mitigation options (see {{Harvnb|IPCC TAR WG3|2001}}).
* Task Force: National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme [http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp]

WG I covers the same areas as the ''Second Assessment Report'' ([[SAR (IPCC)|SAR]]) of 1995, but WG II & III cover slightly different areas in the TAR.
