Keynote – What Works? IPCC evidence for understanding climate policy pathways and implementation
June 10, 2024 / 10:15 – 10:35
Jim Skea is IPCC Chair for the seventh assessment cycle, Chair of Scotland’s Just Transition Commission and Professor of Sustainable Energy at the Imperial College London (UK).
Key messages:
IPCC is a unique science-policy interface. Progress in international policy is directly linked to the various assessments by the IPCC synthesizing the state of scientific knowledge.
Improving our solution-oriented knowledge is increasingly important for international climate negotiations and the global stocktake.
The solution-oriented knowledge around pathways to keeping warming well below 2ºC needs to be complemented with a sound understanding of what policies work, under what conditions in any way.
