IPCC AR7 Report Timeline Reportedly Stalled Over Competing Deadlines and Political Disagreements

A post says the IPCC suspended its Addis Ababa plenary on October 16, 2026, without agreeing on a timeline or budget for AR7. It says many wanted reports ready for the 2028 Global Stocktake, while Saudi Arabia, India and China favored 2029, citing developing-country inclusion. Nearly 120 authors pledged to continue with full scientific rigor, according to the post, and IPCC chair Jim Skea called for a swift reconvening.
