IPCC meeting reportedly suspended without agreement on when to publish next climate reports

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was suspended Oct. 16 without agreement on when to publish results from its seventh assessment cycle, New Scientist reports. The planned reports will summarize evidence on climate threats, adaptation and emissions cuts. New Scientist warns that the publication dispute risks reducing pressure on countries to cut emissions, not that emissions policies have changed.
