Last Friday evening (16 October), I suspended the 65th Plenary Session of the IPCC in Addis Ababa. The work of this Plenary hasn’t finished. We will reconvene the plenary at the earliest opportunity. Read more: ⬇️

I am delighted to welcome the appointment of Annett Möhner as the next Secretary of the @IPCC_CH . Ms Möhner’s extensive experience in multilateral climate fora will strengthen the #IPCC’s leadership & reinforce our capacity to deliver rigorous, policy-relevant climate science.

#IPCC is in Bangkok this week for its 64th Plenary. We’re 2.5 years into our 7th cycle & focus is on a review of IPCC’s Principles & Procedures which underpin our ability to deliver comprehensive, neutral, objective, transparent, inclusive, & scientifically robust assessments.

IPCC is at the @UniofReading this week for two Workshops - Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems & Methods of Assessment. We are especially grateful to our hosts @energygovuk, @MetOffice & the @UniofReading for their hospitality & championing IPCC scientific work.

We kicked off two @IPCC_CH Workshops at the @UniofReading today. For the next 3 days, some 90 experts will discuss Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems & Methods of Assessment with the aim to produce guidance for #IPCC leadership and authors working on IPCC's seventh assessment.

Thought-provoking discussions at last night's public lecture ahead of our two Workshops at the @UniofReading! Dr Sarah Honour (@energygovuk), Rowan Sutton (@metoffice) and @ed_hawkins, 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 in Manchester. Scientists are already active at the interface between our organisations. I’m delighted to welcome participants from the IPBES community to the @IPCC_CH Workshop on Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems next week.

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

Great meeting the Norwegian Minister of Finance @jensstoltenberg in Oslo. We discussed @IPCC_CH'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 climate change.

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. We are grateful to France for hosting this meeting.

Honoured to open @IPCC_CH'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. 🔗 bit.ly/4ir09cC

I am at the Overshoot Conference addressing exceedance of 1.5ºC warming hosted by @IIASAVienna in Austria. My keynote address at the opening highlighted how @IPCC_CH will be approaching this topic and related themes covered at the conference in our next assessment.

It was a full house for my lecture @HelsinkiUni with a focus on what science is telling us about #ClimateChange and the tools available to reduce emissions. I also had the pleasure to meet with Uni’s Chancellor @KaarleHameri.

I had the honour to meet the Finnish President @AlexStubb in Helsinki this morning. We had a thoughtful exchange on the importance of international cooperation in tackling #climatechange & the work of @IPCC_CH. 📷 Urho Högman/Office of the President of the Republic of Finland

I enjoyed an excellent conversation with Finnish parliamentarians after my @IPCC_CH briefing on our plans for the seventh cycle. We covered the importance of the land use sector in reaching #NetZero, how to define 1.5°C warming, and the link between climate & biodiversity.

In Helsinki today - it was a pleasure to have an engaging discussion with the Finnish Minister of Environment & Climate @SariMultala, Petteri Taalas Director General of @Meteorologit, as well as Juhani Damski and Kaarle Kupiainen, @yministerio.

Great to be in Helsinki and warmly welcomed by 🇬🇧 HM Ambassador @FCDOLauraDavies. I am looking forward to a packed agenda over the next two days, including meetings with the Finnish President, Government and Parliament.
