Adapting to #climatechange improves: 🐄 Agricultural productivity, 🔋 Innovation, 🪷 Health and well-being, 🌽 Food security, 👷♀️ Livelihoods, 🐠 Biodiversity conservation & 🚧 Reduces risks & damages. #IPCC #ClimateReport ➡️ https://bit.ly/WGIIRept #GlobalGoals 📷 Biegun Wschodni on Unsplash

#IPCC #ClimateReport Strategies that reduce poverty & inequality & that improve the access of people to basic services need to become a higher priority in adaptation & development planning in order to avoid more than 3 billion people currently & even more in the future being exposed to severe adverse consequences of #climatechange. Reducing vulnerability to climate change is indispensable for climate justice & just transitions. Read more ➡️ https://bit.ly/WGIIRept

#Climatechange impacts in mountains & their attribution to human influence have increased in recent decades with observable & serious consequences for people & ecosystems in many mountain regions. Observed changes include: 🌡️ increasing temperatures, 🌤️ changing seasonal weather patterns, 🌨️ reductions in snow cover extent and duration at low elevations, 🏔️ loss of glacier mass, 🌡️ increased permafrost thaw and 🏞️ an increase in the number and size of glacier lakes.

Four ways that are helping us adapt to #climatechange: ✅ Awareness of climate impacts & risks ✅ Use of decision support tools & climate services ✅ Including adaptation to climate change in policies & planning ✅ Implementing pilot projects & local experiments in different sectors Read more from the #IPCC #ClimateReport ➡️ https://bit.ly/WGIIRept

After the Scoping Meeting for IPCC’s Seventh Assessment Report in Kuala Lumpur, IPCC Chair Jim Skea visited the Working Group II Technical Support Unit team based at SMU College of Integrative Studies in Singapore and led by Working Group II Co-Chair Winston Chow. He was also welcomed by Grace Fu, Singapore's Minister for Sustainability & the Environment.

#NowReading IPCC TG Data has published a paper discussing the implementation of #FAIR data principles in the IPCC process and how this can better support IPCC in its seventh cycle. “Implementing FAIR data principles in the IPCC seventh assessment cycle: Lessons learned and future prospects” discusses the implementation of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and open data principles in the context of IPCC’s work, highlighting successes and challenges. During IPCC’s sixth cycle, which concluded in 2023, efforts focused on curating and preserving digital products to make climate science more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, & Reusable (FAIR). Key recommendations for the seventh assessment cycle (AR7) include better integration of digital curation in workflows, support and training for authors, standardization of data handling across working groups, and collaboration with external data providers and research organizations.

The IPCC Chair Jim Skea delivered a keynote address at the “Bridging Climate Science & Policy to Accelerate Action” symposium, organised this morning by the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur. The presentation focused on the IPCC’s key scientific findings about climate change from the Sixth Assessment Report & how they relate to the three goals of the Paris Agreement.

More than 230 experts from over 70 countries are in Kuala Lumpur this week for the IPCC Scoping Meeting to draft the outlines of the three Working Group contributions to the IPCC's seventh report assessing the science related to #climatechange. "The meeting will stamp the character of the seventh cycle", said IPCC Chair Jim Skea.

This afternoon at the COP29 Science for #ClimateAction Pavilion, IPCC Secretary Abdalah Mokssit spoke at a WMO event bringing together panellists from multiple generations to discuss #accountabiliy.

Ramón Pichs-Madruga, IPCC Vice-Chair, explains how Indigenous Peoples' Knowledge contributions to the IPCC's seventh assessment cycle can enhance our overall understanding of the climate crisis, including informing more inclusive policies. #COP29 Science for #Climate Action Pavilion
