BUDAPEST,April 10 (Xinhua)--The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will focus its next report, due in 2014, on a search for regional rather than global scenarios and possible solutions, and highlight the economic and social aspects of climate change, IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri said Thursday.
Speaking at a press conference in Budapest, he added that the just-concluded IPCC session had adopted a special report on climate change and water management, pointing to the urgent need to adapt to floods and drought.
The IPCC's main task is to evaluate the risk of climate change caused by human activity, and publish special reports on topics relevant to the implementation of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
IPCC closed its four-day session in the Hungarian capital Budapest on Thursday. It was the panel's first major meeting after it received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. (Apr.11)
