Yale professor Karen Seto to give a talk at NCKU on April 15
Tainan, Taiwan, April 13, 2015
Karen C. Seto, Associate Dean of Research at Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University, will give a talk on Mitigation of Climate Change in Urban Areas: Lessons from IPCC AR5, at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, on April 15.
Sato whose research focuses on understanding the contemporary patterns of urbanization and their environmental impacts also serves as the coordinating lead author of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
In the years after the IPCC released its last assessment report in 2006, Seto not involved in writing the reports made the case to the UN-based organization that future reports should pay closer attention to the potential of cities and urban settlements to mitigate climate change.
The IPCC reports are considered the authoritative reports on the current state of the scientific knowledge on climate change, and are the basis on which global climate change policy is determined. Earlier reports were issued in 1990, 1997, 2001, and 2006.
There is a very careful process of selecting of the authors, who are chosen on the basis of their scientific contributions, their record of publications, and the research that they have done. There are typically two coordinating lead authors for each chapter, and they are ultimately responsible for the material in the chapters.
The talk will take place from 8:40 to 12:00 am, April 15, at International Conference Room, Kung-Fu Campus, NCKU.
