Science features prominently in the Paris Outcome
• (Mitigation, adaptation and the global stocktake to be based on) “Best available science”
• Work of the IPCC explicitly linked to the various provisions of the Agreement
• Particularly, the invitation to the IPCC for developing a Special Report on impacts of 1.5oC global warming and associated global GHG emission pathways.
4.Opportuni/esfortheresearchcommunitytocontribute
Specific research challenges, including: • What is the scientific “rule of thumb” when it comes to planning for
adaptation under uncertainties?
• Can we come up with a more operational definition/metrics for global adaptation goal?
• How can we meaningfully and practically track national level adaptation efforts?
• How do we assess the adequacy and effectiveness of adaptation?
• How do we assess global collective progress towards achieving adaptation goal?
• …

“Are we OK with a 2oC warmer climate or shall we try to limit it to 1.5oC instead?”
“For increases in global mean temperature of less than 1-3°C above 1990 levels, some impacts are projected to produce benefits in some places and some sectors, and produce costs in other places and other sectors.”
How can the work of scientists contribute towards the implementation of the UNFCCC?
“ (The COP) Also requests the Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism to establish, according to its procedures and mandate, a task force to complement, draw upon the work of and involve, as appropriate, existing bodies and expert groups under the Convention including the Adaptation Committee and the Least Developed Countries Expert Group, as well as relevant organizations and expert bodies outside the Convention, to develop recommendations for integrated approaches to avert, minimize and address displacement related to the adverse impacts of climate change;…”
