The IPCC prepares Assessment Reports, which are combined using their knowledge of climate change, its causes, potential impacts, and response options. Special Reports are also published presenting an assessment of a specific issue. The Methodology Reports provide practical guidelines for the preparation of greenhouse gas inventories. Climate change is the central perspective of these reports as they explore and assess the drivers of climate change, its impacts, related risks, and adaptation and mitigation through the eyes of diverse expert views.             In respect of India, a developing country, the balancing of challenges of climate change while achieving economic growth and development has always been pointed out as crucial. The policies should be drafted to support the economy and sustainable development while incorporating green technologies and resilience. Climate finance, green economy and development, and early planning to ensure a socially equitable transition are the needs of the hour.
