Workshop on engaging diverse knowledge systems

  • To consider what systems of knowledge (including scientific, Indigenous Knowledge systems, local knowledge systems) can be accessed and assessed by the IPCC within the framework of existing principles and procedures

  • To make recommendations as to how new and extended methods of assessment could be applied to different types of knowledge systems (such as scientific, Indigenous, local, practitioner).

  • Indigenous Knowledge systems, especially from those who are members of Indigenous Peoples communities;

  • Local knowledge (the understandings and skills developed by individuals and populations, specific to the places where they live);

  • Practitioner knowledge (e.g. policymakers, NGO staff and community leaders who have experience of formulating strategies, implementing and/or evaluating policies and other climate actions);

  • Scientific knowledge (including social sciences and the humanities).

Workshop on methods of assessment

  • To consider the means by which such knowledge systems can be assessed — such as artificial intelligence techniques, systematic review techniques, assessment methods for ex-post evaluation evidence, and participation of Indigenous Knowledge holders.

  • To make recommendations as to how new and extended methods of assessment could be applied to different types of knowledge systems (such as scientific, Indigenous, local, practitioner).

  • Artificial intelligence to support assessment processes (including large language models, machine-learning tools and data for literature review);

  • Systematic review of scientific and grey literature, and other forms of knowledge;

  • Ex-post evaluation of climate action or other actions / policies/ interventions relevant for climate change.
