The lecture will highlight the main finding of IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) (IPCC 2007) and the latest IPCC Report on Extreme Events (SREX) (IPCC 2012). These will cover findings from observations to modeling results, which are global in nature. The lecture will also highlight the limited regional assessments made by the IPCC particularly the Maritime Continent region. Knowledge gaps in climate change and climate variability over this region will also be discussed. Prior to these, explanation will be provided on the roles and assessment processes within the IPCC.
