Climate Change: Science in the Theater of Political Intrigue
On March 13-16, Paris hosted the 47th session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which celebrated the panel’s 30th anniversary. In past decades, this community of scientists has managed to create the unique precedent of science laying the foundation for world-scale decision-making. With the Paris Agreement approved in 2015, the IPCC’s role is shifting gradually, but its importance in efforts to solve the climate change problem will only grow.
