IPCC Fourth Assessment
Working Group II
As the new benchmark of climate change science, The IPCC Fourth Assessment (AR4) provides an exciting opportunity for scientists to interpret its findings for the lay public, to emphasize its meaning to relevant stakeholders, and to explain its importance to busy policy makers. In short, SSI members can reinvigorate discussion at all levels of society about the challenges and opportunities associated with climate change and about the human influence on that change. By doing so, SSI members can increase understanding and support for strong national and international climate policies.
