Insights from the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report
UNDERSTANDING IPCC REPORTS
About the OCP and the IPCC
Since 2018, the OCP mobilises its scientific and science mediation networks to participate in the French governmental review of the ocean-related chapters of the IPCC reports. The Platform has contributed to the review of the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (2018), the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (2019) as well as the Sixth Assessment Report (2021-2023). Promoting and enhancing knowledge appropriation on ocean-climate-biodiversity interactions, the OCP convenes a community of science mediation experts to produce accessible contents intended for decision-makers and the general public.
In 2019, the Platform published “Ocean & Climate Change: New Challenges” based on the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere. In 2023, the OCP is pursuing its work with the release of “What ocean for tomorrow? Marine ecosystems in a changing climate: insights from the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report”. Drawing from the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, this new publication provides a synthesis on current knowledge about the linkages between marine ecosystems, climate change and sustainable development.
Ambitious and scientifically informed political action is needed to fight against climate change.
