Join
the
Waterloo
Climate
Institute
and
FAUW's
Climate
Justice
Working
Group
for
an
informal
1.5-hour
workshop
with
authors
of
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change
(IPCC).
The
IPCC
released
its
Sixth
Synthesis
Report
in
March
2023—over
eight
years
in
the
making!
As
greenhouse
gases
continue
to
rise,
the
IPCC
warns
that
the
pace
and
scale
of
current
plans
are
insufficient
to
contain
warming
within
1.5°C.
Nevertheless,
the
Sixth
Synthesis
Report
strikes
an
optimistic
tone
pointing
to
“multiple,
feasible
and
effective
options”
available
to
us
now
for
mitigating
and
adapting
to
human-caused
climate
change.
During
the
workshop,
participants
will
rotate
through
a
series
of
roundtables
hosted
by
a
contributor
to
the
IPCC
reports.
You
will
hear
about
the
IPCC
process
and
the
author’s
research.
Interdisciplinary
discussion
will
consider
how
science,
technology,
policy
and
culture
can
help
us
understand
and
respond
to
climate
change
and
climate
justice.
No
prior
knowledge
or
experience
is
needed
to
participate!
Tea
and
coffee
will
be
served.
