This event is organized by the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Ministry of Transport and Communication of Myanmar. The event will focus on the key messages from the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR1.5) and will also present the role and activities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), its work programme and its relevance to policy and decision making. Valuable information will be provided about the other IPCC reports from the Sixth Assessment Cycle in the context of the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The events will raise awareness about the process of development of the IPCC assessments and will explore the opportunities for the scientific community to be involved and to contribute to the work of the IPCC. Through interactive workshop sessions, an effort will be made to boost two-way information flow and increase the regional participation in the IPCC process and products.
