GoKawiilIPCC deadlock threatens timing of next major climate report
Members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have failed to reach agreement on a timeline for its next assessment report, according to Nature's Daily Briefing. The impasse raises the possibility that the 2028 UN climate conference, which includes a major stocktake of global progress, could proceed without updated scientific findings to inform negotiations. Panel co-chair Robert Vautard noted that such approvals usually take only minutes, underscoring how unusual the current standoff is.
