As individual governments work on the design and scope of their national offers for the 2015 climate agreement, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released the third installment of its Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), calling for a scaling up of efforts aimed at limiting carbon emissions. The discussion is intended to cover the main themes of the WG III report, discuss some of the political controversy that has accompanied the release of the report, and explore its implications for global climate negotiations and domestic climatepolicy in India.

Dr Navroz K. Dubash, Senior Fellow, CPR and Lead Author, IPCC AR5 (also part of the Technical Summary (TS) and Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) author team) will briefly introduce the topic. We will also invite other IPCC authors to join the discussion and offer their perspectives. The intent is to have an open-ended discussion of the IPCC WG III process and outcomes
