Programme and strategies of the International Panel for Climate Change IPCC for the coming years and how you can get involved
On March 6, 2024, Prof. Diana Ürge-Vorsatz will be a virtual guest at Fraunhofer ISI with her lecture “Programme and strategies of the International Panel for Climate Change IPCC for the coming years and how you can get involved”.
The Fraunhofer ISI lecture series bundles exciting topics from the Fraunhofer ISI portfolio and offers opportunities for discussion and exchange at regular intervals.
Abstract
The 6th Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC appeared last year. The new working period of the IPCC is moving forward, while climate change has been visible in many parts of the world in the past year.
Diana will take a brief look back to the last IPCC report (6th AR), then give insights into the forthcoming programme and main subjects for the IPCC, the intended work structure and time frame for the coming work, expected outputs, as well as potential knowledge gaps where research organisations and scientists, students may contribute and support the IPCC.
