New IPCC report presented
On the 9th of August 2021 the contribution of Working Group 1 to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report was presented in an online press conference. To me as an author, this was on the one hand the end of an amazing ride, writing this report with such a great group of people. On the other hand, this was the beginning of another ride, when I could finally talk about our findings to the rest of the world.
- The report can be accessed through: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/
- And the accompanying Interactive Atlas through: https://interactive-atlas.ipcc.ch/
- An online sea level tool has been produced together with NASA: https://sealevel.nasa.gov/data_tools/17
