Abstract
The 10 New Insights in Climate Science report synthesizes influential and emerging research into ten findings relevant to decision-makers ahead of international climate negotiations. This launch examines changes in the climate system, the increasing costs and consequences of warming, and the political and economic influences on climate action. Leading scientists will explain the evidence behind the 2026/27 report and its implications for policy and research ahead of COP31. The programme introduces how the synthesis is produced, presents the ten insights, develops three perspectives on translating science into action, and concludes with audience questions.
