Post by IPCC

Speaking about the role of the academic and scientific community in shaping regional climate solutions at the 2026 Regional Ecological Summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, IPCC Chair Jim Skea encouraged the scientific community in Central Asia to contribute to IPCC assessment through publishing new research, adding to the existing body of scientific knowledge about climate change in this region as well as to become involved as expert reviewers of draft IPCC reports. He also encouraged governments in the region and observer organisations to nominate scientists to serve as authors on future IPCC reports.
