GSI Seminar Series - 10 New Insights in Climate Science 2024/25

Each year, Future Earth, The Earth League and the World Climate Research Programme gather leading scholars from around the world to review the most pressing findings in climate change research. The result is the 10 New Insights in Climate Science delivered as two self-standing products: a peer-reviewed scientific article and a policy report https://10insightsclimate.science/.

In this GSI seminar we will be hearing from authors of 3 of the insights as follows:
