The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), through its Safe Landing Climates (SLC) initiative and the Research on Climate Intervention Lighthouse, is organizing an international webinar focused on the growing relationship between climate science, governance, and policy implementation.

The event will bring together researchers, policy experts, and practitioners to examine how scientific knowledge can better inform climate intervention strategies and governance frameworks.
