The 70th Session of the IPCC Bureau is taking place at the World Meteorological Organization HQ this week. UN Environment Programme Climate Change Division Director Martin Stefan Krause stressed that IPCC remains central to UNEP and to the world in informing ambition, enabling accountability, and illuminating the paths still open to us. The meeting is being held in a hybrid format and runs from 26-27 February 2026. Read more about the IPCC here: https://www.ipcc.ch/news/

The IPCC is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.
Info
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. In the same year, the UN General Assembly endorsed the action by WMO and UNEP in jointly establishing the IPCC. The IPCC is a scientific body. It reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change. It does not conduct any research nor does it monitor climate related data or parameters. Thousands of scientists from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary basis. Review is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure an objective and complete assessment of current information. IPCC aims to reflect a range of views and expertise. The Secretariat coordinates all the IPCC work and liaises with Governments. It is supported by WMO and UNEP and hosted at WMO headquarters in Geneva.

Members of the IPCC Bureau are meeting at the World Meteorological Organization HQ this week to progress work in our seventh cycle. At the opening WMO Secretary General Celeste Saulo commended the IPCC on its progress in this cycle and highlighted how IPCC science is the foundation of effective climate action in an era of accelerating impacts, growing vulnerability, and rising economic costs. The meeting is being held in a hybrid format and runs from 26-27 February 2026. Read more about the IPCC here: https://www.ipcc.ch/news/

Join IPCC authors & Switzerland's IPCC Representative today to learn about how global climate science informs policy. Registration essential, please see details below.
How do we make informed decisions in the face of a complex and rapidly changing climate? Join us at ETH Zürich for a first-hand look at how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) turns climate research into policy-relevant knowledge. Meet IPCC authors, contributors, and Switzerland’s representative to the IPCC, and learn how international collaboration at the science-policy interface shapes global climate action.

Last month, the IPCC and the Wellcome Trust brought together 90 global experts at the Wellcome Trust HQ in London to strengthen how strengthen how climate and health interactions are assessed in IPCC’s Seventh Assessment Report (AR7).
“Climate change is potentially the biggest health threat of the century and the IPCC is arguably the biggest scientific assessment that has ever occurred in human history.” The opportunities to improve health and save lives through action on climate change are increasingly evident and Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum at the World Health Organization is clear that we actually have good stories to tell such as “the rapid uptake of renewable energy sources, particularly in low- and middle-income countries may avoid more deaths than anything we can do within the health sector.” At the start of 2026, Wellcome and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) hosted a co-sponsored expert meeting on Climate Change and Health, in the United Kingdom. Nearly 90 climate and health experts from different regions, disciplines, and fields of practice came together with a shared ambition: to strengthen how climate and health is assessed in the forthcoming IPCC’s Seventh Assessment Report. It was an energising collaboration and the practical recommendations will be published in the next few months. A huge thank you to the IPCC, WHO, our amazing organising partners at the University of Alberta and everyone who gave their time and expertise to support better health for communities around the world.
