Summary
IPCC-47 resumed its work on Thursday, and addressed, inter alia:
- Aligning the work of the IPCC with the needs of the Global Stocktake (GST) under the Paris Agreement;
- Report of the Conflict of Interest Committee;
- Review of the principles governing IPCC work;
- Gender;
- Report of the Ad Hoc Task Force on the Future of the Task Group on Data and Scenario Support for Impact and Climate Analysis (ATF-TGICA);
- Participation of developing countries in IPCC activities; and
- Matters related to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and other international bodies.
A contact group was established and met to discuss the proposed task group and Terms of Reference on alignment of work of the IPCC with the GST. The Financial Task Team and a contact group on gender met during the day, and informal consultations took place on the IPCC Scholarship Programme.
More detail about these discussions will be included in the ENB Summary report, which will be published on Monday, 19 March 2018.
