About this course

This seminar will focus on the IPCC AR6 (2021) Working Group I report (Physical Science Basis). The IPCC stands for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and is the main international organization for assessing the current state of scientific knowledge about global climate change. The IPCC reports are a result of contributions from thousands of scientists from all over the world, and are a comprehensive summary of the current state of climate change research. This course is intended for students with an introductory background in climate change science who want to gain a deeper understanding of it, particularly those aspects of greatest relevance to society. We will follow a reading-and-discussion format. Students will be expected to carefully read the assigned parts of the report, lead some of the discussions, and actively participate in all of the discussions.
