How Saudi oil scientists ended up working on the world’s most important climate reports

Saudi oil scientists are contributing to the world's most important climate reports, according to a recent investigation. This raises concerns about the conflict of interest policy of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which some experts believe is not effective in preventing such situations. The IPCC's reports are crucial in guiding global climate policies and decisions, making it essential to ensure the integrity of its authors and their affiliations. This issue could undermine the credibility of the IPCC's findings and recommendations.

Why it matters

Fossil fuel links of IPCC authors have raised concerns about conflict of interest. This could undermine the credibility of climate reports and hinder efforts to address climate change.
