On April 25th, 2023, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria and the Energy Analysis and Policy program (EAP) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison hosted a webinar to discuss the latest IPCC Climate Change Report.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body of the United Nations (UN), assesses the science regarding climate change. The IPCC also investigates the impacts and future risks of climate change as well as strategies for adaptation and mitigation. With the scientific evidence, the IPCC can then share its assessments with all levels of government to aid in development of climate polices.

The three panelists are IPCC authors from the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). They covered the process of drafting the reports, i.e. explain what were the reports in the AR6 cycle, the three Working Groups, the special reports and the Synthesis Report. They spoke about the review and approval processes of the reports – what this entailed and the roles that governments played.

Panelists:
Shonali Pachauri, IIASA, ECE Program
Greg Nemet, Energy Analysis & Policy
Leila Niamir, IIASA, ECE Program
