UN Environment Programme (UNEP) headquarters, Nairobi, Kenya

Daily Web Coverage

Highlights for Tuesday, 24 February 2015

IPCC-41On Tuesday, 24 February, a welcoming ceremony was held prior to the opening of IPCC-41. UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner highlighted the IPCC’s role in getting the world to act on climate change and stressed the links between the post-2015 development agenda and responses to climate change.

Jeremiah Lengoasa, Deputy Secretary-General, WMO, commended the IPCC on its engagement with diverse audiences, including those participating in negotiations under the UNFCCC, to make the IPCC findings accessible and relevant.

Judi W. Wakhungu, Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, called for the IPCC to ensure that effective information in understandable formats is also accessible to the most vulnerable.

Following a meeting of the IPCC Bureau, IPCC Vice-Chair Ismail El Gizouli, Sudan, formally opened IPCC-41, noting that the Bureau had met after receiving a copy of a letter of resignation from Rajendra Pachauri as IPCC Chair, and that the Bureau had appointed him as Acting Chair. IPCC Secretary Renate Christ then read Pachauri’s resignation letter, which was addressed to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

The Panel then began to address the agenda items, including recommendations forwarded by the Task Group on the Future Work of the IPCC. In the evening, participants attended a reception, hosted by the IPCC.
