00:00The world's leading climate science body is facing an unprecedented deadlock over its next
00:05major reports. The dispute could leave countries without updated scientific assessments at the
00:112028 United Nations Climate Talks. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
00:16represents 195 member states. Its reports have helped shape international climate agreements
00:22for three decades. But countries remain divided over how quickly the next assessments should be
00:27completed. Scientists propose approving all three reports by September 2028. Some nations want two
00:34reports delayed until 2029. They argue researchers need more time to review thousands of studies.
00:40Developing countries also want fairer representation in climate research. The United States withdrew from
00:46the IPCC in January. Meanwhile, global temperatures exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial
00:53levels in 2024. The next reports will examine climate impacts, adaptation, and ways to limit
01:00further warming. An upcoming meeting in Ethiopia could prove crucial. Without an agreement, governments
01:05may enter the 2028 Climate Talks relying on older scientific assessments. Disclosure, this video
