More Information (under review)
Introduction
The Data Distribution Centre (DDC) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been established to facilitate the timely distribution of a consistent set of up-to-date scenarios of changes in climate and related environmental and socio-economic factors for use in climate impacts assessments. The intention is that these new assessments can feed into the review process of the IPCC.
The initiative to establish a DDC grew out of a recommendation by the IPCC Task Group on Data and Scenario Support for Impact and Climate Analysis (TGICA). This Task Group was itself formed following a recommendation made at the IPCC Workshop on Regional Climate Change Projections for Impact Assessment (London, 24-26 September 1996).
Data Access
The data is generally available without restriction, though some datasets hosted by the World Data Centre for Climate are only available for research use.
