KNM webinar “IPCC WG2 Assessment Report: How to Handle?”

The Wageningen Environmental Studies Alumni Association (KNM) organizes a series of webinars on current topics in environmental sciences, open for all interested alumni, students and others.

In February the IPCC WG2 Assessment Report will be released, and in this KNM webinar 3 scientists will share their insights and experiences on the content and process of writing such a report, and the follow up.
For instance, why these IPCC scenarios have to be tailored to the local Dutch situation, how this tailoring will be done, and how KNMI tries to facilitate the uptake of the results and findings in climate impact and adaptation research.
