IPCC deadlock risks delaying climate science and impacting government action

no name given · Greenpeace International · 2026-10-19 · Amsterdam · Source

The repeated delay of the IPCC Assessment Report AR7 due to political disagreement endangers the scientific basis for effective climate protection ahead of the 2028 global stocktake and intensifies the climate crisis for the most affected communities.

With rising emissions and escalating climate impacts, governments should clear the way for stronger measures, not put obstacles in the path.

The text reports that the 65th plenary session of the IPCC in Addis Ababa ended without a decision on the timeline for the Seventh Assessment Report (AR7). It is already the sixth time since early 2024 that the delegates have been unable to reach agreement. Greenpeace International expresses concern that the AR7 reports will not be completed in time before the second Global Stocktake (GST2) of the Paris Agreement in 2028. The organisation emphasises that the IPCC assessments possess unmatched authority in climate science and are decisive for government decisions on mitigation, adaptation, and finance. Greenpeace calls for all three working group reports of the AR7 to be published before the GST2 in order to increase the ambition of climate protection measures. The text refers to the already exceeded 1.5-degree threshold and rising emissions as urgent reasons for timely action. At the same time, it is acknowledged that concerns regarding the equality and representation of the Global South in the assessment cycle must be addressed.
