@ipcc.bsky.social is at the @uniofreading.bsky.social this week for two Workshops - Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems & Methods of Assessment. We are especially grateful to our hosts @energygovuk, @metoffice.gov.uk & the Uni of Reading for their hospitality & championing #IPCC scientific work.

We kicked off two #IPCC Workshops at the @uniofreading.bsky.social today.

Over the next 3 days, some 90 experts will discuss Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems & Methods of Assessment with the aim to produce guidance for @ipcc.bsky.social leadership & authors working on IPCC's seventh assessment.

Thought-provoking discussions at last night's public lecture ahead of our two Workshops at the @uniofreading.bsky.social! Dr Sarah Honour (DESNZ), Rowan Sutton (metoffice.gov.uk) and @edhawkins.org, joined me in a panel about the future of climate science, moderated by Prof. Liz Stephens.

I was honoured to address the 12th Plenary of @ipbes.net in Manchester. Scientists are already active at the interface between our two organisations. I’m delighted to welcome participants from the IPBES community to the @ipcc.bsky.social Workshop on Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems next week.

Excellent meeting with Mari Sundli Tveit, CEO of the Research Council of Norway, in Oslo yesterday. We discussed progress of the IPCC’ seventh assessment cycle as well as the collection and retention of climate data.

Great meeting the Norwegian Minister of Finance Jens Stoltenberg in Oslo. We discussed @ipcc.bsky.social's progress on our next assessment report, the implications of exceeding global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and the role of bioenergy.

Excellent meeting with Norway's Climate and Environment Minister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen. We discussed the #IPCC’s vital role in guiding global #climateaction & how trusted, policy-relevant science remains key to ambitious & inclusive solutions to address #climatechange.

It was a privilege to meet Monique Barbut, Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity & Int’l Negotiations on Climate & Nature at the opening of IPCC's first Lead Author Meeting for the Seventh Assessment Report in Paris today. We are grateful to France for hosting this meeting.

Honoured to open @ipcc.bsky.social's first Lead Author Meeting for AR7 in Paris today. Congratulations to 600+ authors on their appointments—this marks the beginning of our scientific assessment. Thank you to France for generously hosting this historic meeting.

This week I am at the Overshoot Conference in Austria hosted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). I delivered a keynote address highlighting how #IPCC will be approaching this topic and related themes covered at the conference in our next Seventh Assessment Report.
