the TWAS Budinich Lecture on Science Diplomacy,

In her lecture, "The Critical Role of Science in Diplomacy," Ms. Barrett will share insights drawn from her extensive experience in science diplomacy, including her tenure as Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from 2015 to 2023, and more than 15 years participation in U.S. delegations engaged in climate science and policy negotiations. Her talk will also highlight WMO’s current priorities within an increasingly complex multilateral landscape, viewed through a science diplomacy lens.

We look forward to your participation.
