ECA hosts workshop for policymakers on IPCC activities and findings

Abstract

The Economic Commission for Africa’s African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) on Sunday hosted a workshop for policymakers on the activities and findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) where climate experts presented the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) findings as well as the work of the IPCC in the coming years. The workshop was also meant to promote knowledge about the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) cycle work plan, priorities of the IPCC, its role, processes and activities. AR6 will assess scientific findings that have been published since the IPCC’s last comprehensive report, the Fifth Assessment Report, which was completed in 2014 and provided crucial input into the Paris Agreement on climate change that was adopted in December 2015.
