政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）将在《联合国气候变化框架公约》（UNFCCC）第二十九次缔约方大会（COP29）上发挥重要作用。COP29将于2024年11月11日至22日在阿塞拜疆巴库举行。
IPCC主席吉姆·斯凯（Jim Skea）将在11月12日的世界领导人气候行动峰会上，向国家元首和政府首脑高级别会议开幕式发表致辞。在会议的第一天，他还将在规定的“地球信息日”活动开幕式上发表讲话。此外，他还将在11月18日举行的2024年年度高级别部长级圆桌会议（关于2030年前雄心壮志）开幕式上发表开场演讲。在COP29期间，IPCC主席计划与各国部长、代表团团长以及来自UNFCCC各组织、选区、团体和组成机构的代表会面。
IPCC秘书长阿卜达拉·穆克希特（Abdalah Mokssit）将在科学和技术咨询附属机构（SBSTA）开幕式全体会议上发言。他还将参加在COP29蓝区举办的“科学促进气候行动”展馆内的各项活动，该展馆由世界气象组织和MERI基金会联合主办。
IPCC第二工作组联合主席巴特·范登赫尔克（Bart Vanden Hurk）将在11月13日举行的领导人峰会特别高级别活动上，就“气候变化对水域减少的不利影响”发表演讲。
在UNFCCC的官方边会计划中，IPCC的活动将重点关注第七次评估周期期间的工作，包括从IPCC三个工作组的视角讨论知识差距。该边会定于11月14日16:45至18:15在边会室1举行。
“科学促进气候行动”展馆将举办丰富的科学小组活动和各类活动，共计40场。IPCC对该计划的贡献旨在为与会代表团和参会者提供一个关于IPCC第七次评估周期工作的“工具箱”。IPCC将在两周内举办八场活动，围绕第七次评估的城市、地方和区域重点、第七次评估报告规划以及IPCC国家温室气体清单特别工作组下的新方法等关键主题领域展开，包括IPCC清单软件的最新动态。
政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）是联合国负责评估与气候变化相关科学的机构。该机构由联合国环境规划署（UNEP）和世界气象组织（WMO）于1988年共同成立，旨在为政治领导人提供关于气候变化、其影响和风险的定期科学评估，并提出适应和缓解战略。同年，联合国大会批准了WMO和UNEP联合成立IPCC的行动。IPCC拥有195个成员国。
来自世界各地的数千人为IPCC的工作做出贡献。对于评估报告，专家们自愿担任IPCC的作者，评估每年发表的数千篇科学论文，以提供关于气候变化驱动因素、其影响和未来风险以及适应和缓解如何降低这些风险的全面总结。
IPCC设有三个工作组：第一工作组负责气候变化物理科学基础；第二工作组负责影响、适应和脆弱性；第三工作组负责缓解气候变化。IPCC还设有国家温室气体清单特别工作组，负责制定排放和清除的测量方法。
每5至7年发布一次全面的科学评估报告。IPCC目前正处于第七次评估周期，该周期于2023年7月在内罗毕举行的IPCC全体会议上选举产生新的IPCC和任务组局后正式开始。
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).
