Together, they created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). What is the IPCC's mission? The IPCC is not a research laboratory or a lobby (as some climate sceptics would have us believe). Its mission is "simply" to compile, summarise and present existing scientific knowledge....
The role of the IPCC is to “assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information that relates to human induced climate change“. It is therefore not a research lab, but a organism that assesses and summarizes research work done throughout the world. This is an important point, bec...
This volume celebrates many aspects of the diverse and influential work of Martin Parry. This particular article is inspired by the roles he has played in assessments of climate change impacts, including through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the spirit of his ...
Earth Day 2025, marking its 55th anniversary, focuses on the theme "Our Power, Our Planet" calling for a global shift to renewable energy. EARTHDAY.ORG is calling for renewable energy generation, globally, to be tripled by 2030 and urges individuals, businesses, and governments to embrace sus...
The latest climate science from the IPCC, described by the UN as “code red for humanity,” shows that it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. However, we are dangerously close to that threshold. Immediate and decisive action is crucial to prevent irreversible damage...
theIPCCfrom 2022 shows that keeping global temperature rise under 1.5°C by the end of the century is still possible, but it will require rapid, immediate, and economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, as well as the removal of carbon from the atmosphere. But why...
As artificial intelligence systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), become increasingly integrated into decision-making processes, the ability to trust their outputs is crucial. To earn human trust, LLMs must be well calibrated such that they
its guiding principles, the role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is to “assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economicinformation relevant to understandingthe scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change...
‘Climate smart agriculture’ (CSA) is another approach that has recently achieved much prominence, given the adaptation and mitigation challenges facing humanity [1••]. CSA is defined by three objectives: firstly, increasing agricultural productivity to support increased incomes, food security and...
According to IPCC reports, such solutions play an important role in most pathways to keep society on the 1.5°C trajectory. Vattenfall is exploring the possibilities of bio-carbon capture storage. We believe that natural resources should be used and recycled for as long as possible, and at ...
