政府間氣候變化專門委員會（IPCC）將在《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》（UNFCCC）第二十九次締約方大會（COP29）上發揮重要作用。COP29將于2024年11月11日至22日在阿塞拜疆巴庫舉行。
IPCC主席吉姆·斯凱（Jim Skea）將在11月12日的世界領導人氣候行動峰會上，向國家元首和政府首腦高級別會議開幕式發表致辭。在會議的第一天，他還將在規定的“地球信息日”活動開幕式上發表講話。此外，他還將在11月18日舉行的2024年年度高級別部長級圓桌會議（關于2030年前雄心壯志）開幕式上發表開場演講。在COP29期間，IPCC主席計劃與各國部長、代表團團長以及來自UNFCCC各組織、選區、團體和組成機構的代表會面。
IPCC秘書長阿卜達拉·穆克希特（Abdalah Mokssit）將在科學和技術咨詢附屬機構（SBSTA）開幕式全體會議上發言。他還將參加在COP29藍區舉辦的“科學促進氣候行動”展館內的各項活動，該展館由世界氣象組織和MERI基金會聯合主辦。
IPCC第二工作組聯合主席巴特·范登赫爾克（Bart Vanden Hurk）將在11月13日舉行的領導人峰會特別高級別活動上，就“氣候變化對水域減少的不利影響”發表演講。
在UNFCCC的官方邊會計劃中，IPCC的活動將重點關注第七次評估周期期間的工作，包括從IPCC三個工作組的視角討論知識差距。該邊會定于11月14日16:45至18:15在邊會室1舉行。
“科學促進氣候行動”展館將舉辦豐富的科學小組活動和各類活動，共計40場。IPCC對該計劃的貢獻旨在為與會代表團和參會者提供一個關于IPCC第七次評估周期工作的“工具箱”。IPCC將在兩周內舉辦八場活動，圍繞第七次評估的城市、地方和區域重點、第七次評估報告規劃以及IPCC國家溫室氣體清單特別工作組下的新方法等關鍵主題領域展開，包括IPCC清單軟件的最新動態。
政府間氣候變化專門委員會（IPCC）是聯合國負責評估與氣候變化相關科學的機構。該機構由聯合國環境規劃署（UNEP）和世界氣象組織（WMO）于1988年共同成立，旨在為政治領導人提供關于氣候變化、其影響和風險的定期科學評估，并提出適應和緩解戰略。同年，聯合國大會批準了WMO和UNEP聯合成立IPCC的行動。IPCC擁有195個成員國。
來自世界各地的數千人為IPCC的工作做出貢獻。對于評估報告，專家們自愿擔任IPCC的作者，評估每年發表的數千篇科學論文，以提供關于氣候變化驅動因素、其影響和未來風險以及適應和緩解如何降低這些風險的全面總結。
IPCC設有三個工作組：第一工作組負責氣候變化物理科學基礎；第二工作組負責影響、適應和脆弱性；第三工作組負責緩解氣候變化。IPCC還設有國家溫室氣體清單特別工作組，負責制定排放和清除的測量方法。
每5至7年發布一次全面的科學評估報告。IPCC目前正處于第七次評估周期，該周期于2023年7月在內羅畢舉行的IPCC全體會議上選舉產生新的IPCC和任務組局后正式開始。
GENEVA, Nov 07 – The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will have a strong presence at the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). COP29 runs from 11 to 22 November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The IPCC Chair, Jim Skea, will address the opening of the High-Level Segment for Heads of State and Government during the World Leaders Climate Action Summit on 12 November. On the first day of the conference, he will deliver remarks during the opening of the mandated Earth Information Day event. Among other engagements, he will deliver a scene-setting presentation at the opening of the 2024 Annual High-Level Ministerial Round Table on the pre-2030 Ambition scheduled for 18 November. During the COP29 the IPCC Chair is scheduled to meet with ministers, heads of delegations, and representatives from various organizations, constituencies, groups, and constituted bodies of the UNFCCC.
The IPCC Secretary Abdalah Mokssit will deliver a statement at the opening plenary of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA). He will also take part in various events organised in the “Science for Climate Action” pavilion located in COP29 Blue Zone and hosted jointly with the World Meteorological Organization and the MERI Foundation.
IPCC Working Group II Co-Chair Bart Vanden Hurk will speak at the Special High-Level Event of the Leader’s Summit entitled “Adverse Impacts of Climate Change on the Decline of Water Basins” on 13 November.
Under the UNFCCC’s official programme of side events, the IPCC’s event will focus on the Panel’s work during the seventh assessment cycle, including the discussion about knowledge gaps from the perspective of the IPCC’s three Working Groups. The side event is scheduled for 16:45 to 18:15 on 14 November in Side Event Room 1.
The “Science for Climate Action” pavilion will have a rich program of scientific panels and events, with a total of 40 events. IPCC′s contribution to the programme is designed to serve as a “toolbox” for the delegations and participants of the conference regarding IPCC’s work in the seventh assessment cycle. IPCC will host eight events spread across two weeks, organized around key thematic areas such as the urban, local and regional focus of the Seventh Assessment, planning for the Seventh Assessment Report, as well as new methodologies under the IPCC Taskforce on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, including updates on the IPCC inventory software.

Notes for editors
What is the IPCC?
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the UN body for assessing the science related to climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to provide political leaders with periodic scientific assessments concerning climate change, its implications and risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation strategies. In the same year the UN General Assembly endorsed the action by the WMO and UNEP in jointly establishing the IPCC. It has 195 member states.
Thousands of people from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC. For the assessment reports, experts volunteer their time as IPCC authors to assess the thousands of scientific papers published each year to provide a comprehensive summary of what is known about the drivers of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and how adaptation and mitigation can reduce those risks.
The IPCC has three working groups: Working Group I, dealing with the physical science basis of climate change; Working Group II, dealing with impacts, adaptation and vulnerability; and Working Group III, dealing with the mitigation of climate change. It also has a Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories that develops methodologies for measuring emissions and removals.
IPCC assessments provide governments, at all levels, with scientific information that they can use to develop climate policies. IPCC assessments are a key input into the international negotiations to tackle climate change. IPCC reports are drafted and reviewed in several stages, thus guaranteeing objectivity and transparency.
About the Seventh Assessment Cycle
Comprehensive scientific assessment reports are published every 5 to 7 years. The IPCC is currently in its seventh assessment cycle, which formally began in July 2023 with the elections of the new IPCC and Taskforce Bureaus at the IPCC’s Plenary Session in Nairobi.
At its 69th Session (January 2024, Istanbul), the Panel agreed to produce the three Working Group contributions to the Seventh Assessment Report, a Special Report on Climate Change and Cities and a Methodology Report on Short-lived Climate Forcers. During this cycle, the Panel will also deliver a Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage.
In addition, a revision of the 1994 IPCC Technical Guidelines on impacts and adaptation as well as adaptation indicators, metrics and guidelines, will be developed in conjunction with the Working Group II report and published as a separate product.
IPCC’s latest report, the Sixth Assessment Report, was completed in March 2023 with the release of its Synthesis Report, which provides direct scientific input to the first global stocktake process under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change at COP28 in Dubai.
The Sixth Assessment Report comprises three Working Group contributions and a Synthesis Report. The Working Group I contribution Climate Change 2021: the Physical Science Basis was released on 9 August 2021. The Working Group II contribution, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, was released on 28 February 2022. The Working Group III contribution, Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change, was released on 4 April 2022 and the Synthesis Report on 20 March 2023. The Synthesis Report to the Sixth Assessment Report, distills and integrates the findings of the three Working Group assessments as well as the three Special Reports released in 2018 and 2019.
The special reports were on Global Warming of 1.5°C (October 2018.), Climate Change and Land (August 2019) and, the ocean and cryosphere in a changing climate (September 2019).
