IPCC Meeting Suspended Without Agreement on Next Climate Review Timeline
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suspended its recent meeting in Addis Ababa without reaching an agreement on the timeline for its next major scientific review. The delay, ongoing for nearly three years, raises concerns about the readiness of reports for the 2028 UN climate talks. A coalition of 30 countries urges faster action, while nations including India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China seek more time to ensure inclusive scientific contributions. The IPCC's assessments are crucial for global climate policy and legal decisions.
