Practical Action
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been established by WMO and
UNEP to assess scientific, technical and socio- economic information relevant for the understanding
of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. The reports by the
IPCC’s three Working Groups provide a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the current
state of knowledge on climate change.

Practical Action is a development charity with a difference. We know the simplest ideas can have the
most profound, life-changing effect on poor people across the world. For over 40 years, we have been
working closely with some of the world’s poorest people - using simple technology to fight poverty and
transform their lives for the better. We currently work in 15 countries in Africa, South Asia and Latin
America.
