Half-day event on the findings of the IPCC 5th Assessment Report (AR5) on climate change adaptation and mitigation
The European Commission (Directorate-General for Research & Innovation) is organising this half day event which brings together policy makers, key stakeholders from the private sector, civil society representatives, scientists, advisors and high level representatives from the IPCC in order to present the key findings of the IPCC 5th Assessment Report (AR5) on climate change adaptation and mitigation, discuss their implications for policy making and for economic and societal sectors, while identifying challenges and opportunities for the future.
The United Nation Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has published its latest report Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability.It presents the impacts of climate change to date, the future risks from a changing climate, and the opportunities for effective action to reduce those risks. With the contribution of 1,729 experts, the report finds clear evidence that climate change is already having substantial and widespread impacts today but says strong and urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can reduce the risk of such impacts in the future.
