Very few other scientific reports attract the same amount of attention as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report does. The periodic assessment report of the UN's global scientific body on climate change regularly receives worldwide attention. Premier climate scientists from all over the world are involved in compiling the report. After the fourth Assessment Report, published in 2007, work is now underway for the fifth IPCC report (AR5). It should be ready by 2013. Authors of the report include researchers of the Oeschger Centre. Lead Authors are: Stefan Brönnimann and Karapinar Baris. Heinz Wanner is working as a reviewer on the report, and Thomas Stocker, director of the NCCR Climate, co-chairs the IPCC's "Science" working group.
