Morgan presents research on equitable and beneficial electrification at the What Works Climate Solutions Summit
About the conference
On June 9-12, 2024, the What Works Climate Solutions Summit was hosted by Technische Universität Berlin and the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change in Berlin, Germany. The Summit is a high-level conference for evidence-based climate policy, designed to promote synthetic evidence for upcoming climate change assessments such as the IPCC’s 7th Assessment Report (AR7).
This international event brought together key institutions for scientific policy advice on climate change (e.g., IPCC, UN Emissions Gaps, national science assessment bodies) and evidence synthesis communities (e.g., Campbell, Cochrane, Collaboration for Environmental Evidence, etc.), as well as funders and experts from relevant scientific communities to make progress on three major goals:
What works? Catalyzing rigorous evidence synthesis work across the scientific community: Initiate an ambitious work program on climate solutions and advance evidence synthesis methods for evidence-based policy and the IPCC’s 7th assessment cycle.
Building evidence synthesis capacity: Provide access to high-quality training in and catalyze funding for rigorous evidence synthesis
Communicating change: Establish institutional dialogue on and convey the need for evidence synthesis in research, policy and practice.
