THE Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR1.5) was published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) just seven months ago. Yet, negotiating Parties at the SB 50 Bonn Intersessional are bracing themselves to bid goodbye to scientific evidence, as reported by Climate Tracker.

Informal consultations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Subsidiary Bodies of Science and Technological Advice (SBSTA), co-facilitated by Annela Anger-Kraavi (Estonia) and Ladislaus Chag’a (Tanzania), on June 18 took a worrying turn as one party argued against discussing the report further.
