Reflections on Hosting the IPCC at the University of Reading

Last night I had the privilege of joining colleagues from the University of Reading and guests from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for a dinner held alongside a two-day series of international workshops on our campus. Around 150 people gathered — including academics, scientists, policymakers and practitioners — united by a shared seriousness of purpose: strengthening the global evidence base on climate change, and ensuring it continues to inform action in every corner of the world.
