United Nations Panel Selects Three Rutgers Researchers as Lead Authors on Next Global Climate Report
August 28, 2024
A United Nations-affiliated science panel has named three Rutgers scientists as lead authors on a report that will serve as the next worldwide assessment of climate change.
Rutgers University-New Brunswick faculty members Robert Kopp, Pamela McElwee and Kevon Rhiney were selected to contribute to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Seventh Assessment Report. The reports produced by the panel are considered the world's leading and most definitive assessments on the state of climate change.
Rutgers faculty are among 664 experts from 111 nations to participate as authors and editors in the IPCC’s three working groups. Working Group I deals with the physical science basis of climate change, Working Group II assesses impacts, adaptation and vulnerability and Working Group III analyzes the mitigation of climate change.
