— concluded its work in Lima on October 30, the Peruvian Ministry reported.
In a related development, outreach activities were conducted on October 31.
The session highlighted the agreement reached on the content of a methodological report concerning technologies for carbon dioxide removal, as well as its capture, utilization, and storage.
This matter had been under discussion for nearly two years, which had prevented the conclusion of the topics to be included in the IPCC's 7th assessment cycle.
It will now be possible to select authors from various regions, who will prepare this report.
Consultations in contact groups facilitated the approval of various reports from the IPCC's three working groups and task force, without the need for additional meeting days.
In addition, the draft special report on "Climate Change and Cities" was presented, which is expected to be completed in 2027.
Financial decisions were also unlocked to support the participation of authors and reviewers from developing countries and to implement the IPCC's Work Plan in 2026.
However, consensus on the schedule of the three working groups remained elusive.
Since 2024, a group of countries has opposed aligning IPCC reports with the process for determining the collective impact of national measures implemented under the Paris Agreement.
This matter will be reconsidered at the next IPCC meeting in Thailand next year.
Around 120 States and 30 observer organizations participated in the event, with over 400 delegates and scientists, who warmly recognized the excellent organization and hospitality provided.
The Peruvian delegation included officials from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Environment, as well as experts from the National Meteorology and Hydrology Service (Senamhi), the National Institute for Research on Glaciers and Mountain Ecosystems (Inaigem), the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP), and universities.
Peru participates firmly in global frameworks to ensure that global warming does not exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius. This requires accelerating mitigation measures and enhancing financing for climate change adaptation—one of the greatest threats to human well-being, sustainable development, and life on the planet.
