IPCC at UNFCCC COP29

11-Nov-2024 to 22-Nov-2024

COP29 will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 to 22 November 2024.

The IPCC will participate in UNFCCC mandatory events. On the opening day, the IPCC Chair Jim Skea will address the opening plenary of COP and Earth Information Day, while the IPCC Secretary Abdalah Mokssit will address the opening of SBSTA.
 
In coordination with the UNFCCC the IPCC is holding a side event on the afternoon of 14 November 2024 to present IPCC plans and prospects for the seventh assessment cycle. During the event, the Chair will provide an overview of the seventh cycle, Working Group II, and the Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories will provide updates on the Special Report on Climate Change and Cities and the Methodology Report on Short-lived Climate Forcers, both scheduled for release in 2027, including the agreed outlines, calls for nominations, selection of authors and next steps. The event will also cover discussions on Knowledge Gaps from the perspective of the three Working Groups.
 
Together with WMO and MERI Foundation, the IPCC will run a programme of events at the joint “Science for Climate Action” pavilion. IPCC's events will run throughout the two-week period and will primarily focus on the reports IPCC will deliver in the seventh cycle.

A full programme of events will be available shortly.

Reconciling anthropogenic land-use emissions between global models and national inventories

Presenting on the outcome of the IPCC TFI Expert Meeting on the current inconsistency in land-use CO2 emissions between global models, used to determine the net-zero pathways in the IPCC Assessment Reports, and national GHG inventories as well as country climate pledges, used to assess compliance with the Paris Agreement. These inconsistencies, equivalent to ca.15% of global CO2 emissions, have important implications for the assessment of collective efforts under the Paris Agreement.

Towards a robust economic and policy assessment for Working Group III: ways to improve in AR7

Working Group III focuses on assessing mitigation, including both current and potential future action. As countries expand their climate policies, more scrutiny around economic and policy assessment can be expected, for example based on requests for more context-specific analysis or for integration of a greater diversity of analytic approaches. Under these circumstances, how can the Working Group III assessment improve while ensuring a robust and policy neutral report?
