Story summary

The recent meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, concluded without an agreement on a timeline for publishing its next review of climate science. This meeting was seen as the last opportunity to set publication dates before UN climate talks scheduled for November 2028, when governments are expected to evaluate progress towards goals established in the 2015 Paris Agreement. The three-year-long deadlock over these timelines could leave countries uncertain about critical issues such as whether certain aspects of global warming can be reversed, potentially hindering international cooperation on climate action. The disagreement highlights significant rifts among wealthy industrialized nations, emerging economies, and poorer countries regarding responsibilities and strategies for addressing rising temperatures.
