IPCC
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a United Nations body that assesses the scientific evidence related to climate change and offers guidance to governments and policymakers on climate-related issues. IPCC provides a range of emission factors in their reports including energy-related emissions, industrial processes, agriculture, and land use and waste management activities.
