Background to SLU's Climate Conversations
Between 2021-2023 IPCC launched its sixth assessment report, presenting the current scientific knowledge on the physical science basis, mitigation, impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. The first part by Working group 1, received a lot of attention in Sweden and globally when it was released summer 2021. Prior to the sixth assessment report, the last IPCC assessment report came in 2014 and provided the scientific basis for the Paris Agreement.
SLU Global together with SLU’s four future platforms - SLU Future Food, SLU Future Forests, SLU Future One Health and SLU Urban Futures - took the launch of the IPCC reports as an opportunity to increase the scientific conversation about climate change across disciplines at SLU, by hosting a series of webinars for SLU-staff, as well as webinars open for a wider audience. The initiative is ongoing to keep the dialogue alive.
