📍 Join IAP Webinar to discover how to contribute as an Expert Reviewer in the First Draft of the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. The #IntergovernmentalPanelonClimateChange (IPCC) provides regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts, and future risks, as well as adaptation and mitigation options. The IPCC Assessment Reports provide authoritative information for governments and policymakers. While each IPCC report may include contributions from hundreds of authors, contributors and insights from developing countries are consistently underrepresented. 📌 This raises issues related to the diversity of inputs that are critical for policy-relevant assessments. There are also ethical aspects, as the risks and consequences of the climate crisis are disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable, those who typically live in countries that have historically emitted the least amount of greenhouse gases. 📌 Thus, there is a critical need to increase the breadth of insights and knowledge contributed to IPCC reports by experts from low- and middle income countries 🌍. ✔️ 18 September 2025 ✔️ 10:00 - 11:30 UTC; 12:00 - 13.30 CEST ✔️ Register here: https://lnkd.in/d3z-8tgT Agenda  🔹 Welcome  🔹 Introduction to the IPCC  🔹 The IPCC report production process  🔹 What an expert review is  🔹 Why it is important  🔹 How to register as an expert reviewer  🔹 How to conduct an expert review.  🔹 Discussion / Q&A Speakers: 🔺 Peter McGrath, IAP Coordinator 🔺 Anna Pirani, IPCC National Focal Point for Italy 🔺 Andrew Okem, Head of Science of the IPCC WGII Technical Support Unit.
