SEOUL, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an international body set up to assess the science related to climate change, launched its 48th session in South Korea's western port city of Incheon Monday to adopt a special report on global warming.

The session, set to last until Friday, was attended by about 570 representatives from 135 countries and international organizations, according to Seoul's foreign ministry.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said in a video message to the opening session that the entire world needed to determine and act toward the abnormal climate, which has become the norm and posed a threat to the world.

Moon expressed his hope for the session to adopt the special report, titled Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius, to address the climate change with stronger international efforts.

A press conference was scheduled to be held next Monday to present the Summary for Policymakers of the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius, which would include the impacts of global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and suggestions to curb global warming.

The report was requested by governments when they adopted the Paris agreement in December 2015 at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

It was forecast to be used as a scientific basis for discussions at the 24th Conference of the Parties (COP24) to the UNFCCC, slated to be held in Poland in December.
