Consultation meeting Climate change and Cities March 6th 2024

This April, the IPCC working group 2 (Impact, Adaptation and Vulnerability) will organize a scoping session for a special report on Climate Change and Cities. During this scoping session, the broad contours of the report will be decided.  Heleen de Coninck and Anne-Marie Hitipeuw-Gribnauw will participate for the Netherlands in this IPCC scoping session in April. In the run-up to this event, KIN organises an expert consultation meeting, feeding into the IPCC scoping meeting. The KIN Expert Consultation will be held on March 6. Both participants for the IPCC scoping meeting will be present. Join us, share your insights and learn from a diverse group of participants!

Goals

The KIN Expert Consultation is an opportunity to convey which themes and policy-related questions you want to see addressed by the IPCC. It is also an excellent opportunity to broaden your own horizon by meeting experts working in different field. In the future, the IPCC might use the expertise of this meeting as a sounding board. 

What to prepare

We welcome you with your expertise and experiences. We do ask you for an open mind to learn from different perspectives. You may consider thinking about the following questions in advance:

  • What do I know about the IPCC and how could their expertise help me in my position? Click here for more information on IPCC and working group II. Click here for the Summary for Urban Policy Makers.

  • Which dilemmas do I face, and what research and knowledge do I seek to realize effective climate policy and action? How could these be addressed by the IPCC report?

  • What form/shape of scientific reporting would I find helpful for my own work, please think about examples of literature that was useful for you.

She is also the vice-chair of the Netherlands Scientific Climate Council, which advises the Dutch government on climate policy.
Anne-Marie Hitipeuw is one of the two Dutch participants the scoping session for the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. She is the senior policy advisor on knowledge for climate adaptation at the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, where she is responsible for developing policy on flooding and monitoring climate adaptation. Before she joined the Ministry, Anne-Marie was The Hague’s chief resilience officer, responsible for delivering The Hague’s Resilience Strategy.
Bart van den Hurk is co-chair of the IPCC working group II: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability for the 7th IPCC assessment report, and previous co-author of the 6th IPCC assessment report.

Andy van den Dobbelsteen is professor of Climate Design & Sustainability at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). His work focuses on the design of sustainable buildings and energy transition and climate adaptation in cities. He has worked internationally with governments and other organisations on sustainability and climate action. As Sustainability Coordinator of TU Delft he practises what he teaches and preaches, taking climate action on the university campus. In his keynote talk Andy will elaborate on the relation between climate change and cities, the challenges cities face, its possible solutions and the how research and innovation can contribute to it.

Leo Meyer worked at TNO (energy technology) and the former Ministry of environmental affairs (climate policy). He was involved in several roles in the IPCC, including as author and as head of the secretariats of the 2007 IPCC report on mitigation and the 2015 IPCC synthesis report.
