Webinar on: Key Findings from the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and Plans for the Seventh Cycle

On 14 August 2025, the Greenstat Centre of Excellence in Hydrogen (COE-H) had the honour of hosting Professor Sir Jim Skea CBE FRSE FEI HonFSE, Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), for an exclusive session on the state of global climate science and the path ahead.

About the Webinar
The IPCC plays a central role in shaping global climate policy by providing rigorous, science-based assessments of climate change. In this webinar, Professor Skea unpacked the key findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, explained their direct relevance to the Paris Agreement goals, and highlighted knowledge gaps that must be urgently addressed. He also shared insights into the Seventh Assessment Cycle, setting the stage for the next decade of global climate collaboration.

Key Takeaways

  • What the IPCC is and how it works.

  • Key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report critical for achieving net zero emissions and the Paris Agreement.

  • Where global climate knowledge gaps remain and how they can be addressed.

  • Plans and priorities for the Seventh Assessment Cycle.

One of the most striking points shared:

“To stay below 1.5°C, global emissions should have been halved during the 2020s. That hasn’t happened. This means 1.5°C is now almost out of reach. Even keeping warming under 2°C will require drastic action in the next decade.”

This urgent message reinforces that every fraction of a degree matters. Beyond 2°C, we face irreversible risks to coral reefs, forests, food security, and future generations.

Why Watch the Replay?
If you are a researcher, policymaker, or clean energy professional working in fields such as green hydrogen, energy transition, and capacity building for net zero emissions, this is a must-watch session. Professor Skea’s decades of leadership in energy innovation, just transition frameworks, and international climate policy offer unique insights to guide today’s action.

Webinar on: Role of Women in Rising New Sustainable Energy Sector Architecture

This powerful session with Rosilena Lindo, Global Energy & Climate Advisor and former National Energy Secretary of Panama, explores why gender equality is at the heart of a just energy transition and how inclusivity can accelerate progress toward net zero emissions by 2050.

Rosilena, a globally recognised leader in renewable energy and climate policy, shares her insights on:

  • Why the energy transition is only achievable when women and men have equal opportunities inside and outside the sector.

  • How inclusive innovation drives diversification of sustainable energy technologies.

  • Why the next five years are critical to consolidating a new sustainable energy sector architecture, demanding radical collaboration.

💡 One point that truly stood out:

“Talent doesn’t have a gender. To triple renewable energy by 2030, we need ALL the talent — women and men — at the table.”

This is a powerful reminder that the energy transition is not just about technology—it’s about people. To build a greener, more just future, we must break biases, open opportunities, and ensure women have equal space in leadership, innovation, and decision-making.

The webinar also highlights how green hydrogen, renewable energy jobs, and capacity building can unlock opportunities for millions—if equality and inclusivity are embedded at every step.
