Your Climate Action Diary - 56

Year 2024 • Week 5 • Anushthatri Sharma
Hi,

Hope your first month this year has come around well. 

This week the climate buzz is coming in from the IPCC, the COP28 and India's Climate Report to the UNFCCC. 

The IPCC, which is responsible for bringing out all latest scientific research on climate change, is about to begin its 7th assessment. It marks an important moment.

(Its first assessment was completed in August 1990 and formed the basis on the first global climate (COP) negotiations. It has since been the scientific soul of the climate negotiations and plays the most important role on informing the world about our latest understanding of climate change.)

Happy Reading & Stay Critical ! 
 
Regards,
