IPCC AR5: What it means for a stronger, more inclusive India

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented the findings of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) to governments, civil society, the scientific community, media and other stakeholders at an outreach event held on 6 August 2014 in New Delhi. Titled, 'IPCC AR5 - What it means for a stronger, more inclusive India', the event focused on the implications of the AR5 findings for India and for countries in South Asia, with a view to communicate the report's findings effectively to India's public and decision-makers, as well as to increase the accessibility of the report and promote discussion and connections between diverse stakeholders.

The event was organized by TERI, in cooperation with the IPCC and Climate Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), and in partnership with the Ministry of Earth Sciences, GoI, and the TERI-BCSD. The event featured several authors from the IPCC's three wroking groups, who presented their overviews of the report and discussed special topics of interest to the region.
