Abstract
The Second Assessment Report was adopted by the IPCC at its eleventh plenary session held in Rome from 11 to 15 December 1995. The Report, to be published under the title "Climate Change 1995: IPCC Second Assessment Report", comprises some 2,000 pages and includes a multitude of figures and tables and more than 10,000 references. The purpose of this note is to provide an overview of the wealth of information contained in the Report with a view to facilitating its use by the SBSTA. It also identifies a number of issues for consideration by the SBSTA (see section V). The question of future inputs that may be required from the IPCC is addressed in document FCCC/SBSTA/1996/6 on cooperation with the IPCC. This note provides some general information on the Report; its three addenda give more detailed information on the inputs provided by the three IPCC Working Groups. In addition, the Chairman of the IPCC will introduce the Report at the second session of the SBSTA
