The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) cited the SternReview extensively in the Fourth Assessment Report, which purported to present the consensus views on climate-change science and mitigation options in 2007.
University College London (UCL) climatologist Mark Maslin called it "the Sternreport for medics", referring to the 2006 review that outlined the future impacts of the climate change situation in economic terms and advocated comprehensive, early-stage action to address it.
