Science forms the core of our understanding of the rapidly unfolding climate crisis, as well as the foundation upon which the world can and must build solutions.
Since 2012, the UN Foundation has supported the premiere global climate science body—the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—to build and execute a communications strategy capable of breaking into the mainstream conversation. The IPCC’s reports, and our work to communicate them to the public, are indispensable in informing both broad public understanding of the risks we face as well as the decisions that policymakers and elected officials need to make around the world. As we saw with the 2018 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C, the IPCC has the power to permanently shift the global climate conversation through science.
