Environmental groups welcome reform of UN climate panel
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 30 - 08 - 2010


Calls for reforming the management of the United
Nations panel on climate change were welcomed Monday as a sign of
confidence that the body would continue warning against global
warming.
The InterAcademy Council (IAC), an organization of world
academies, called for changes in management and working processes
after a probe of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), dpa reported.
IAC said IPCC has been "successful overall" in its findings on
climate change. But the panel needs to continue to adapt to "changing
conditions in order to continue serving society well in the future."
In Washington, Jennifer Morgan, World Resources Institute
programme director for climate and energy, took pride that the IAC
did not question IPCC's findings that human activities are causing
climate change. She said the US National Academy of Sciences supports
the conclusion.
"The recommendations of the IAC will help bolster confidence in
the IPCC - which is comprised of thousands of the world's leading
climate scientists - and will ensure that the IPCC continues to be a
leading source of scientific information on climate change," Morgan
said.
"Around the world, we are witnessing the types of events
consistent with climate models - from wildfires in Russia to massive
flooding in Pakistan - that will become even more frequent if we do
not take action to reduce climate change."
Greenpeace said in Brussels that IAC's recommendations would help
to strengthen and streamline the way IPCC makes assessments on
climate change.
"We are convinced that these recommendations will help to increase
public confidence in the IPCC as an expert panel and make the science
of climate change and the implications of continued fossil-fuel use
and deforestation more understandable to the general public," it said
in a statement.
Greenpeace supports the IPCC's role in informing national and
international policies on climate action.
