In the most recent IPCC assessment report (AR6), lines of evidence associated with paleoclimate were distributed throughout the report.  The Pliocene played a key role in Chapter 2 in terms of providing a benchmark against which recent and future changes could be measured, and in Chapter 7 in terms of model-data comparison and constraining climate sensitivity, in Chapter 9 in terms of sea level change, and also appeared in multiple other chapters.  Here, I will summarise some of these contributions, and also look forward to ways in which the Pliocene community can contribute to AR7.
