The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) delivers the starkest warning yet on the risks of climate change. Join ISC Member, the Royal Society (United Kingdom) as they bring together leading scientists, policy-makers and industry representatives to discuss the findings and implications of the latest IPCC AR6 reports during this online conference.
The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report provides the most comprehensive analyses of the latest climate science, impacts and vulnerabilities related to climate change. It highlights that immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are needed, alongside urgent actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. IPCC reports underpin major international climate agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
The three Working Groups of the IPCC present the latest knowledge on:
Working Group I reported on the most up-to-date physical science knowledge on climate change in August 2021. It highlighted that climate change is widespread, rapid and intensifying. Working Group II will publish a report on impacts, adaptation and vulnerabilities at the end of February 2022 and Working Group III will publish a report on climate change mitigation at the beginning of April 2022.
We will hear from IPCC lead authors, working group chairs, and policy and industry professionals as they reflect on the findings of the reports and explore the implications for policy and evidence-based action.
Day 1 will consider the key findings of AR6, outcomes of COP26 and the implications for policy, industry and future IPCC activity. Day 2 will seek to identify the scientific research and collaborations needed to progress our knowledge of climate change and contribute to global climate policy and responses.
The conference will take place at the Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG, and online.
