We’re bringing you another special briefing on the latest report yet from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to be released on April 4, 2022. Working Group III focuses on both reducing greenhouse emissions and greenhouse gas removal and looks at required actions across many different sectors using a multi-disciplinary approach across economics and social science, extending to issues such as governance and social responsibility.
