United Kingdom's Jim Skea has been elected as the newly elected chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
WMO and the United Nations Environment Programme are co-sponsors of the IPCC, which provides authoritative scientific assessments concerning climate change, its implications and risks, as well as to adaptation and mitigation strategies.
With nearly forty years of climate science experience and expertise, Jim Skea will lead the IPCC through its seventh assessment cycle.
"WMO welcomes the election of Jim Skea as Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change at such a critical moment. The extreme heatwaves, unprecedented sea surface temperatures and rapid changes in the cryosphere show that climate change mitigation and adaptation is gaining in urgency on a monthly - even daily – basis," said WMO Secretary-General Prof. Petteri Taalas.
