Bringing the IPCC to Life
Summary
The report argues that the IPCC's current approach of providing robust scientific assessments is insufficient to create political change, as facts alone do not convince the public. It recommends that the IPCC integrate human stories that illustrate climate impacts and provide public insight into the personal motivations and experiences of its authors and key figures.
Key insights
- The IPCC's current method of presenting information and scientific assessments is not resulting in the necessary political change, and increasing the volume of facts is unlikely to be effective in convincing the public.
