Episode Details

In March 2023, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a synthesis report warning that the world needs to act fast to reduce emissions. The synthesis report is likely to be the go-to document for many stakeholders setting their climate policies and plans over the next several years.   

In this episode of ESG Insider, we hear from two authors of the IPCC report: Dr. Aditi Mukherji, who is Director of the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Impact Area Platform at the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). CGIAR is a global research partnership that works with scientists around the world on agricultural innovation and is dedicated to transforming food, land and water systems in a climate crisis.     

And we speak to Dr. Peter Thorne, who is Professor in Physical Geography at Maynooth University in Ireland. He is also Director of the Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units group at the university.
