项目摘要

This award supports the scientific activities of the Co-chair of Working Group III (Mitigation) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and scientific members of the Technical Support Unit (TSU). The TSU is co-located at Imperial College London and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA). IPCC is a world body which provides policymakers with assessments of the science of climate change, its impacts, and options for adaptation and mitigation. IPCC offers policymakers a snapshot of what the scientific community understands rather than promoting a particular view. IPCC sets out options from which policymakers may choose in pursuit of their goals, but it does not tell governments what to do. Assessment involves a structured approach to interpreting that knowledge and a synthesis of the scientific findings which in itself constitutes a substantial contribution to knowledge.IPCC operates through three Working Groups (WGs). WG III is concerned with climate change mitigation, i.e. reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and removing them from the atmosphere. Prof Jim Skea was elected co-chair of WG III in October 2015 for a period of seven years along with Prof PR Shukla of IIMA. Their task is to produce the WG III contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report, to contribute to the Synthesis Report along with other WGs, to contribute to a Special Report on the implications of keeping global temperature increases below 1.5 degrees as requested by the UN Climate Convention, and to lead the production of a further special Report on climate change and aspects of land use.Co-chairs coordinate the efforts of hundreds of volunteer authors to produce these reports and gain approval for the final reports from IPCC governments. They are backed up by a TSU comprising scientists and other support staff. For the first time, the WG III TSU is co-located at the institutions of the developed and developing country co-chairs. This award provides support for Professor Jim Skea, the UK co-chair, and members of the scientific staff located in London. A parallel award from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), includes official development assistance (ODA) and covers operations and communications costs in London and posts at IIMA. WG III's work covers all aspects of energy, including energy supply technologies, energy demand, energy infrastructure and whole energy systems approaches. The reports also covers agriculture, forestry and land use. To meet this remit, IPCC contributors include physical scientists and engineers but also those from the biological sciences, economists and other social scientists. The scope of IPCC WG III products is wide and they are interdisciplinary in character. The Special Reports on 1.5 degrees and land use, involving collaboration across Working Groups, are exceptionally interdisciplinary.To deliver the products, the co-chairs and the TSU must: scope and set the scientific framework for reports in consultation with governments and other stakeholders; select authors to contribute to the drafting; engage with authors to ensure that the quality of individual report chapter is assured; ensure that review comments by experts and governments are addressed to adequately; lead the drafting of the Summaries for Policymakers which are the most high-profile IPCC outputs; and steer the reports through approval sessions of IPCC involving all member governments. IPCC's activities have a major impact on climate change policy nationally and internationally. The widely cited reports have influenced the development of the UN Climate Convention and are used to inform national policy-making. This award enables the UK and UK science to have a significant influence on climate policy nationally and internationally through the framing and direction provided by the co-chairs and through the efforts of the many UK researchers who will be mobilised to contribute to IPCC.

该奖项支持政府间气候变化专门委员会（气专委）第三工作组（缓解）联合主席和技术支持股（大津）科学成员的科学活动。该大津是共同设在帝国理工学院伦敦和印度管理学院阿赫梅达巴德（IIMA）。IPCC是一个世界性机构，为政策制定者提供气候变化科学评估，其影响以及适应和减缓的选择。IPCC为政策制定者提供了科学界理解的快照，而不是促进特定的观点。政府间气候变化专门委员会列出了政策制定者在追求其目标时可以选择的选项，但它并没有告诉政府应该做什么。评估工作包括采用结构化的方法来解释这些知识，并综合各种科学研究结果，这些结果本身就是对知识的重大贡献。第三工作组关注的是减缓气候变化，即减少温室气体的排放并将其从大气中清除。Jim Skea教授于2015年10月与IIMA的PR Shukla教授沿着当选为第三工作组的联合主席，任期七年。他们的任务是编写第三工作组对第六次评估报告的贡献，沿着其他工作组对综合报告作出贡献，按照联合国气候公约的要求，对关于将全球气温上升控制在1.5度以下的影响的特别报告作出贡献，并牵头编写另一份关于气候变化和土地利用问题的特别报告。主席们协调数百名志愿作者的努力，以编写这些报告，并获得IPCC政府对最终报告的批准。他们得到由科学家和其他支助人员组成的大津技术支助股的支持。第三工作组大津首次与发达国家和发展中国家联合主席的机构合用同一地点。该奖项为英国联合主席Jim Skea教授和位于伦敦的科学工作人员提供支持。商业、能源和工业战略部（BEIS）的一项平行奖励包括官方发展援助（ODA），并支付伦敦的业务和通信费用以及IIMA的职位。第三工作组的工作涵盖能源的所有方面，包括能源供应技术、能源需求、能源基础设施和整个能源系统的办法。这些报告还涉及农业、林业和土地使用。为了满足这一要求，IPCC的贡献者包括物理科学家和工程师，但也包括来自生物科学，经济学家和其他社会科学家。气专委第三工作组的产品范围广泛，具有跨学科性质。关于1.5度和土地利用的特别报告涉及各工作组之间的合作，是非常跨学科的。为了交付产品，联合主席和大津必须：与政府和其他利益攸关方协商，确定报告的范围和科学框架;选择作者为起草工作做出贡献;与作者接触，以确保报告个别章节的质量得到保证;确保专家和政府的审查意见得到适当处理;领导起草作为气专委最引人注目的成果的《决策者摘要》;指导气专委所有成员国政府参加的批准会议通过报告。IPCC的活动对国家和国际气候变化政策产生重大影响。这些被广泛引用的报告影响了《联合国气候公约》的发展，并被用来为国家决策提供信息。该奖项使联合王国和联合王国科学能够通过联合主席提供的框架和方向以及通过许多将被动员为IPCC做出贡献的英国研究人员的努力，对国内和国际气候政策产生重大影响。
