Unpacking the AR7 Ambitions

Wednesday, 12th November 2025

At the start of the current IPCC cycle the Chair led the development of an ambition for IPCC's seventh assessment cycle that is rooted in three pillars: providing an action-oriented assessment, embracing the multi-disciplinary nature of climate science, and enhance inclusivity. Each of these themes has found its way in the implementation of the AR7 cycle, including the processes followed for the scoping of the reports, selection of authors and experts, and designing the support to authors.

This session unpacks these ambitions and illustrates their implementations, particularly in the Working Group outlines and processes.

Attendees are encouraged to engage in the discussion.
