Two Ecofys consultants have been appointed to work on the next IPCC's major report on the state of knowledge on climate change. Dr. Niklas Höhne, Director Energy & Climate Policy, has been selected as Lead Author of chapter 13, titled "International Cooperation: Agreements and Instruments" of the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report on climate change. Dr. Monique Hoogwijk, Manager Energy Climate Policy, has been chosen as review editor for chapter 10, titled "Industry". "The IPCC is the authoritative international scientific body on climate change. It is an honour to participate in this assessment," commented Höhne. "The IPCC Assessment Reports are a vital contribution to the continuing work on climate change and I am delighted to play a role in safeguarding the careful review process," said Hoogwijk. Their commitment is to Working Group 3 which focuses on mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and their removal from the atmosphere.
Dutch Minister Huizinga of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) has called the key conclusions by the IPPC regarding climate change "undeniable", in response to the results of a study by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), which were presented to the minister today. Minister Huizinga believes that PBL has made valuable suggestions for improvements in IPCC's working methods and has therefore brought the report to the direct attention of both the IPCC Chair and the InterAcademy Council (IAC) Co-chair. They will be able to benefit from the report in respect of the ongoing international independent investigation into IPCC's working methods.
