Several experts have given their views about what to expect from the IPCC report and the state of our planet Earth.
Richard Black, from the non-profit advisory group the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit:
"Coming just before COP26, this report is a massive wake-up call to all those governments that have not yet put forward realistic plans to cut emissions over the next decade."
"It will show that choices made now have a big effect on our future - leading to a runaway world of wild weather impacts and incalculable risks at one end, and at the other a future where climate change is constrained within manageable bounds."

Dr Heleen de Coninck, from Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, who is a co-ordinating lead author for the IPCC Working Group III:
"We've seen over a couple of months, and years actually, how climate change is unfolding; it's really staring us in the face.

"It's really showing what the impacts will be, and this is just the start. So I think what this report will add is a big update of the state of the science, what temperature increase are we looking at - and what are the physical impacts of that?

A lead author of the report, Prof Ed Hawkins, said:
"Climate change is here and now. We're already seeing the effects of our warming planet on changes in extreme weather and rising sea levels and coral reef bleaching and dying around the world."

"These effects are very, very visible from photographs of glaciers melting from the Arctic Sea ice retreating, the signals are all around us and this report will set out the latest evidence in great detail."
