Organised by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the meeting brings together experts from 60 countries to analyse the capacities and limits of ecosystems to adapt to climate change, as well as options to reduce the risks associated with the climate.

Since its foundation, the IPCC has produced five major reports and other documents relevant to society and policymakers around the world, and the sixth assessment report will be written in Faro.

The draft of this document will be circulated for review by governments and experts in August this year.

This is one of the three IPCC working groups, created by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, in charge of analysing impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change.
