The World ParaAthletics Championships, known as the IPC Athletics World Championships prior to 2017, is an event organized by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Athletes with a physical disability compete, and in a few events athletes with an intellectual disability compete. Originally it was organised every four years, but this changed in 2011 and it is now organised biennially. The first IPC Athletics World Championships was held in Berlin, Germany in 1994. They are a de facto parallel to the IAAF World Championships in Athletics for able-bodied athletes, and are held in the same years as the IAAF championships, although they are not organised separately by the respective governing bodies. London, who previously hosted both the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics, will become the first city to host both the IAAF World Championships in Athletics and World ParaAthletics Championships in the same year. The London event will also be the first branded as the "World ParaAthletics Championships".
