University of Leeds | IGCC
Seminar | 11am – 12pm, BST (Find Local Time)
Duration: 1 hour
Platform: MS Teams
Description: Human-induced warming has reached 1.37°C, greenhouse gas emissions remain at record highs, and Earth’s energy imbalance continues to increase. Together, these indicators provide a clear picture of how the climate system is changing and the risks that lie ahead.
But what do these findings mean for the decisions governments, investors and international institutions need to make today?
This webinar explores the latest findings from the Indicators of Global Climate Change (IGCC) initiative and their implications across multiple sectors. Bringing together climate scientists, policy experts and decision-makers, the discussion will focus on how climate indicators can inform practical decisions and strengthen evidence-based policymaking in a rapidly changing world.
