A Report of Working Group III
of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
This summary was accepted but not approved in detail at the Sixth Session of
IPCC Working Group III (Accra, Ghana 28 February - 3 March 2001). Acceptance
of IPCC reports at a session of the Working Group or Panel signifies that the
material has not been subject to line-by-line discussion and agreement, but
nevertheless presents a comprehensive, objective, and balanced view of the subject
matter.
