Climate scientists demand powers to develop “political agendas”.

Climate experts have called for a “comprehensive overhaul” of the structure and mandate of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, including allowing scientists to interfere in countries’ political plans.Guardian“British.

Five of the lead authors of the IPCC reports told the Guardian, “Scientists must be empowered by the 195 signatories of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to set policy plans and oversee their implementation.”

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an international body affiliated with the United Nations consisting of 3,000 climate scientists and other experts.

It is also considered an influential scientific organization in the field of studying global warming and its effects.

“As climate change worsens, it is becoming increasingly difficult for policy to be relevant without binding guidance,” said IPCC Vice-President Sonia Senaviratne.

He added that scientists “can argue for the reduction and phase-out of fossil fuels.”

Of the “contradiction between science and work on the ground,” he said: “It’s hard for us scientists to understand because science doesn’t seem to make any sense.”

The function of the IPCC is to issue assessment reports of the latest climate science that are over 3,000 pages long every 6 to 7 years. A short “summary for policy makers” of these lengthy assessments has been compiled.

“The decisive, independent and guiding roles of the IPCC are unclear,” said Geert-Jan Nabors, lead author of three IPCC reports.

He continued: “With the decline of those roles, states wield more influence.”

The problem for teachers, he said, is that they “can’t be policy-oriented, so they can’t make strong statements about what needs to be done.”

Nabors questioned the value of consistently producing evaluation reports. And less time trying to stay below 2 degrees Celsius.”

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommends cutting carbon emissions by 43 percent by 2030 compared to 2019, with hopes of meeting the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Glenn Peters, lead author of the emissions scenarios in the same body’s sixth assessment report, said scientists “should be allowed to identify country-by-country causes of increased greenhouse gas emissions, such as coal use in China.” mitigation pathways elsewhere.”

According to the Guardian, a report by IPCC scientists that blamed China and India for more than 50 percent of the net increase in global emissions between 2010 and 2019 was omitted from a recent briefing for policymakers, the negotiating documents show.

“The IPCC needs to move towards solving the problem,” Peters said. “If that doesn’t happen in the seventh assessment report, I think the IPCC will lose its relevance.”
