Leading Pacific Islands academic Dr George Carter has been appointed to the COP29 Presidency Scientific Council.
He joins an elite group of scientists from around the world who will advise governments at this year’s UN Climate talks in Azerbaijan.
“It’s an absolute privilege to join this prestigious council,” he said.
“It’s a team of scientists who assist in negotiations … some of us are already embedded in organisations that advise governments.
“Our main mission is to put science in the heart of decision-making and policy-making,” said Dr Carter.
