Climate scientists gather for fourth meeting in Addis Ababa
Scientists from around the world comprising the lead authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group III have commenced their fourth meeting that takes place from1-5 June in Addis Ababa. The session opened with reminders of the magnitude of the challenge of climate change, particularly in Africa and a call to do more on resilient measures in the face of climate related disasters. In his remarks Mr. Carlos Lopes, Executive Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), said that while some of the fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa, threats to development, as a result of climate change and other challenges, “point to the need for concerted action to sustain current growth trends in Africa.”
