On Thursday, September 12, 2024, The Transition Institute 1.5 organized its 10th TTI.5 Webinar, which focused on the theme « Deciphering IPCC Scenarios: Issues in Climate Forecasting ». This webinar was conducted in French.

The 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) was published between 2021 and 2023. These reports provide an overview of scientific knowledge related to climate change. They offer a summary of the state of climate physics (Working Group I), impacts and adaptation (Working Group II), and mitigation solutions (Working Group III). These reports rely, among other things, on the compilation and analysis of several hundred scenarios produced by scientific communities worldwide. Understanding the process of their development, the use of these scenarios, and their limitations is crucial for interpreting them.

  • « Négocier l’espace des possibilités climatiques : analyse de la construction des bases de données de scénarios du GIEC depuis les années 1990 » [Translation in English: “Negotiating the Space of Climate Possibilities: Analysis of the Construction of the IPCC Scenario Databases Since the 1990s”],
    by Béatrice COINTE | Research Fellow at the CNRS and Researcher at the CSI Mines Paris – PSL ; Recipient of theCNRS Bronze Medal 2024
    Béatrice COINTE’s research explores the intersection of environmental considerations and economic organization. Combining ethnography of science, economic sociology, and socio-historical analysis, her current work investigates the creation of energy and climate scenarios from the 1970s to the latest IPCC report and their role in defining the climate issue.
