PRESS INFORMATION

 

  IPCC REGIONAL PRESS BRIEFINGS

 

Not a "second launch" of the report, but a different media event to focus on the in depth information about a particular region and explore the richness

of the full report with the scientists from that region, who worked on the relevant chapters. The IPCC is organizing the briefings with the organizational support of partner institutions. Here are the locations, published as soon as they are confirmed. The page is constantly updated as more details are available.
