How this is communicated and what impact this has will also be discussed. • Panos Panagos (Senior Research Scientist in the Land Resource Unit at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre). The Joint Research Centre (JRC) is the European Commission’s in-house science service, which provides evidence and support to EU policy. Panos Panagos will explain how the JRC supplies scientific advice and discuss soil and land resource management research within the organisation. • Valérie Masson-Delmotte (Head of the IPCC AR6 Working Group 1 / Laboratoire des sciences du climat et l'environnement). Valerie Masson-Delmotte was recently appointed co-chair of the Working Group 1 (the physical science basis) for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report (AR6). The IPCC reports represent a highly established process of providing reliable scientific advice about climate change at international policy levels.
