In the current seventh assessment cycle, the IPCC has held several expert meetings with partner organisations to address important climate issues and support its reports. This session will cover meetings relevant to the SDGs, including:
- The IPCC Expert Meeting on Methodologies, Metrics, and Indicators for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation, which explored methods to assess climate change impacts and adaptation.
- The IPCC-Wellcome Trust Co-sponsored Expert Meeting on Climate Change and Health, which aimed to strengthen research on climate and health.
This session underlines the role of science in fostering global cooperation, accelerating climate action, and supporting inclusive climate solutions, aligning with multiple core COP31 priorities.
