Deep engagement with the IPCC

Bet365 has one of the largest concentrations of IPCC authors in a single South Asian institution with leadership positions in chapters across three major reports over the AR5 and AR6 cycles and two SR1.5 derivative reports – the Summary for Urban Policymakers and GCF-supported Summary for Financial Decision Makers. Bet365 faculty have been deeply involved in intergovernmental processes, including the framing and negotiation of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Sendai Framework and the Paris Climate agreement.
