Kenya Strategy meeting: Experts Meet to prepare the Country position ahead of the 62^nd Panel Session of the IPCC

The pre-P62 strategy meeting organized by the Kenyan Government and the AGNES is set to happen on 10th & 11th February 2025 to prepare an evidence-based position for the country ahead of the 62nd session of the IPCC Panel. The P62 session set to happen in Hangzhou, China, from 24th to 28th February 2025 will see six delegates from Kenya actively advocating for the country’s priorities and concerns. During this session, the Panel will deliberate on key issues, including the outline of the IPCC Seventh Assessment Report, the Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage, alongside discussions on the IPCC Trust Fund Programme and Budget. In preparation for this China session, the outlines for the three IPCC Working Group reports were developed by selected experts in December 2024 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and are now open for review and interrogation by participating countries before the final approval. Therefore, part of the activities in the pre-P62 strategy meeting will be to review the outlines for the 3 main reports and the 2 methodology reports.
