As the largest international body operating with global participation, the IPCC aims to guide nations in taking responsibility for mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change. The credibility and effectiveness of its reports are crucial not only for policymakers and experts but also for the wider public, who must understand and act upon the findings. However, the presence of uncertainties, particularly in climate models and projections, has led to increased scrutiny of the IPCC's work. This study provides a critical analysis of the IPCC Assessment Reports, aiming to identify the organization's key strengths and weaknesses. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on improving transparency, accuracy, and the practical utility of global climate assessments.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle
