1. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.... and beyond? D-BATE – 8 September – 12:30-14:30 – C-541/3 – IVM W&N building After the crises of 2009 and early 2010, the role of the IPCC is being challenged. What is its role at the interface of climate change science and climate policy? Are the crises emblematic of the strenuous relationship between science and policy, or were there simply mistakes? And what are the challenges of the science-policy interface at the global level? The Research cluster D-bate on Science, Technology and Environmental Governance is proud to present its first debate Prof. Frans Berkhout (IVM) and Prof. Arthur Petersen (PBL) will debate about the current position of IPCC in the global climate debate and ways forward.
