To mark the 30th anniversary of its creation in 1988, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will hold its 47th session in Paris. UNESCO will host the meeting, which is a highly significant choice given the institution’s mandate in scientific and environmental issues, which echoes that of the IPCC to make science work for the fight against climate change.One of the topics of this 47th meeting, to be held on 13-16 March, will be to provide the IPCC with long-term resources to maintain its essential work, as its financial situation is currently delicate. France is now taking action and will raise its contribution to €1 million per year until 2022. The next session in October 2018, focusing on adopting the report on limiting global warming to 1.5°C, must also be prepared.
The IPCC reports are the scientific source of reference for informing the choices of political leaders, particularly for climate negotiations. This day of commemoration will be open to the public, which can attend the lectures and debates throughout the day on 13 March. Registration is mandatory, please e-mail: pointfocalgiec@developpement-durable.gouv.fr
