Dr Jan Fuglestvedt re-elected to the IPCC

Fuglestvedt will be closely involved in the seventh IPCC cycle which will culminate with the release of the seventh assessment report around 2030.

For the next period, Fuglestvedt will further the cross-disciplinary approach to increase the policy relevance of climate science and IPCC assessments.

“I am highly motivated to be part of the effort to take the IPCC to the level needed to address the pressing scientific and policy-related issues ahead of us.

“I will further my efforts to support coordination and consistency across the Working Groups and build on what has been learned from writing Special Reports and cross-Working Group collaboration, to make the best and most relevant climate science available to policymakers”, said Fuglestvedt.

“We are very proud of Jan and his achievements with the IPCC. His re-election is a huge recognition not only of his scientific merits and contributions to the AR6 but also of CICERO and Norway as forerunners in climate science. CICERO is looking forward to continuing our close collaboration with the IPCC,” said Kristin Halvorsen Director of CICERO.
