At the end of the day on Wednesday – just beyond the halfway point of the 58th session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-58) – significant work remained for delegates charged with reviewing and approving the Summary for Policymakers of the synthesis report for the Sixth Assessment cycle. Delegates met in plenary, contact groups and huddles throughout the day, working to reach agreement on each line of the proposed text.
Work continued late into the evening. The IPCC will continue its work on Thursday.
