Abstract:

This paper considers the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and in particular its key role in climate change dynamics. It highlights the significance of the links between scientific expertise and global governance, politics being a crucial issue between North and South. It thus studies the operation and activities of the IPCC, which on the one hand defends the traditional model of scientific expertise, but on the other is closely linked to political dynamics.
