I was thrilled to visit the Working Group II Technical Support Unit based at @Deltares, The Netherlands 🇳🇱. For lunch, I was “going Dutch”, & chipped in with a talk on the IPCC & our future plans, touched on #IPCC Uncertainty Language & the use of scenarios in #IPCC reports.

One of the first scientific meetings of IPCC’s seventh cycle has just drawn to a close. Experts from more than 60 countries met this week to draft the outline of the #IPCC Special Report on #ClimateChange & Cities.

I thank the Latvian government for hosting us in Riga.

It was a privilege to lead IPCC's scientific briefing for the Latvian parliamentarians, hosted by Uģis Mitrevics, Chair of the Sustainable Development Commission. We had an excellent & insightful discussion on challenges for climate change policies & options for action.

It is a great honour to share this opportunity in memory of my good friend and colleague, Dr Saleemul Huq.

Applications are being sought for a new scholarship and award for researchers from developing countries for solutions to loss and damage caused by climate change.

I had the pleasure & privilege to open the first scientific meeting of IPCC’s seventh cycle. Experts from 65 countries gathered in Riga this week will draft the outline of the Special Report on #ClimateChange & Cities.

Thank you to our hosts Kaspars Melnis & Jānis Lange.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the @MetOffice last week & briefing & being briefed by their excellent team.

Their impressive work is critical not only for planning our day-to-day activities but also for informing us about #climatechange .

Looking forward to addressing tomorrow the next Changing Planet seminar hosted by Grantham Imperial. Livestream will also be available.

At the #CopenhagenClimateMinisterial , I stressed to ministers that if we do not act now, we close the option of limiting warming to 1.5°C as we will have used up the carbon budget by 2030, even with the current set of nationally determined contributions.

At the opening of the #CopenhagenClimateMinisterial today, I stressed that IPCC stands ready to play its part in supporting a move from problems to solutions and from analysis to action to address the unprecedented challenges of #climatechange .

I was happy to contribute to last week’s @FTLive #FTClimateCapital Live 2024, a forum for CEOs, policymakers and investors to accelerate science-aligned climate progress.

Achieving #NetZero by 2050 requires effective climate policies in line with IPCC reports.

This Int’l Women’s Day #IWD2024 , I am proud to stress my vision for the IPCC to be truly representative & inclusive. #GenderEquality brings a balance of opportunity, responsibility & recognition. A full range of voices is essential to #IPCC 's work & tackling #ClimateChange .

Grateful to PGES for briefing UK Parliament about IPCC findings & future plans.

We are not on track to meet the three #ParisAgreement goals, but there are signs of progress. Without rapid, deep emissions reductions in the energy sector #NetZero will not be possible.

I was at #UNEA6 in Nairobi last week. It was a truly rewarding week and an opportunity to share insights into how IPCC assessments provide the scientific basis to tackle the triple planetary crises of #climatechange , #biodiversity loss & #pollution .

In today’s #UNEA6 side event discussing the Montreal Protocol, #IPCC Chair Jim Skea spoke about how #GHGs controlled by the Montreal Protocol are considered extensively in #IPCC reports & potential synergies between IPCC & other assessment bodies.

Yesterday’s #UNEA6 leadership dialogue explored how to enhance the use of scientific assessments to tackle the triple planetary crises.

I stressed to policymakers that science alone is not enough, & their leadership is critical in turning science into purposeful #ClimateAction .

Looking forward to this discussion this evening on building linkages from science to action through policies to tackle the triple planetary crisis of #climatechange , #biodiversity loss, and #pollution .

#UNEA6

It was a pleasure to deliver the Dean’s Annual Lecture Imperial College London for their Sustainability Fortnight. As #IPCC Chair, I stressed that IPCC’s input in the coming decade will be instrumental in ensuring the world meets the #ParisAgreement targets.

Looking forward to this discussion starting shortly at #UNEA6 today on how the Montreal Protocol has advanced #ClimateAction & its future synergies with IPCC’s seventh cycle.

I look forward to addressing several key events at #UNEA6 this week. The 6th United Nations Environment Assembly is focusing on multilateralism to tackle the triple planetary crisis of #climatechange , nature & biodiversity loss & pollution & waste.

With great pleasure I took part in this video for International Energy Agency Energy Innovation Forum.

We know from the work of the IPCC and the IEA that there is now a huge opportunity to scale up these technologies at pace.
