The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: Holding Science and Policy-Making to Account

Abstract

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), set up in 1988, is the cornerstone of the regime complex for climate change and its responsibility is to politically test what science tells us with respect to climate change. Rached looks into how the procedures of the IPCC fulfil its central role of policy advice giving. Along this assessment,she considers how the normative lenses of the global administrative law (GAL) project might illuminate the IPCC accountability and the direction of its past reforms.
