Lead Ed­i­tor - News­gath­er­ing

The Al­liance of Small Is­land States (AO­SIS) has called for a glob­al com­mit­ment to en­sure vi­tal in­puts are pro­vid­ed for im­mi­nent re­ports from the world’s lead­ing sci­en­tif­ic body.

In a state­ment on Fri­day, the 39-mem­ber body said, "This must be done in time to in­form ac­tion that can stave off the most cat­a­stroph­ic im­pacts of cli­mate change. Cli­mate change sci­en­tists and ex­perts are cur­rent­ly prepar­ing for the forth­com­ing 62nd meet­ing of the In­ter­gov­ern­men­tal Pan­el on Cli­mate Change (IPCC) in Hangzhou, Chi­na from Feb­ru­ary 24th, 2025."
