IPCC has been established by WMO and UNEP to assess scientific, technical and socio-
economic information relevant for the understanding of climate change. Go to:

This is a comprehensive and up-to-date scientific assessment of past, present and future climate change. See also:
Changes in Sea Level.
This website assesses the
rate of change of global average and regional sea level in relation to climate change.
