The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for climate change assessment. Established in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), its mission is to provide a clear scientific view on climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. The UN General Assembly endorsed its formation.

The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability," was published on March 31, 2014.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer multiple benefits for business, nature, and people, yet their adoption by companies to meet climate goals and mitigate risks remains limited. Increased corporate engagement across value chains is crucial for achieving a net-zero, nature-positive world.

CISL acknowledges the challenges companies face in adopting NbS, particularly in quantifying benefits for initial projects like regenerative agriculture. To address this, CISL, with support from the We Mean Business Coalition, launched a diagnostic tool in March 2022 to help unlock NbS investments within value chains.

An upcoming webinar, part of CISL’s project to support business to #GetNBSready, will explore progress on nature-positive ambitions, discuss implementation challenges, and demonstrate how this tool can assist companies.

Discover how astronomer Vera Rubin's persistence led to the groundbreaking discovery of dark matter, a concept now fundamental to understanding our universe. Despite initial dismissal and facing barriers as a woman in science, Rubin's work revealed that astronomical objects exaggerate gravity's grip, earning her the National Medal of Science and posthumous honors like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
