Briefings
Scientists from the IPCC and U.N. climate science panel warn of severe funding shortages and delayed report timelines ahead of the COP31 summit. This open letter highlights a critical bottleneck preventing timely climate action, with reports potentially delayed or withheld due to lack of resources.
Key points
- The IPCC and U.N. climate science panel are facing a funding crunch that threatens to delay critical climate reports.
- Scientists warn that without adequate funds, the organization may be unable to complete its work on time.
Context
This briefing addresses the situation at the upcoming United Nations climate summit, where global climate negotiators and government officials convene. The scientific organization they rely on to guide their decisions is mired in gridlock and short on funds, creating a significant obstacle to effective climate policy.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to an open letter from scientists; specific dates for delays are not provided, and the extent of the funding shortfall remains unquantified.
