About the Author

Kari De Pryck is a Fellow from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) in the Laboratoire PACTE at the Université Grenoble Alpes. She is interested in knowledge production on global environmental problems and has been studying the IPCC's internal workings since 2013 using ethnographic methods. She is a member of the first research project that was given official access to the IPCC Working Groups for the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Reports (AR6). Mike Hulme is a Professor of human geography at the University of Cambridge. He has spent his career studying climate change. In 2007 he received a personal certificate from the Nobel Committee marking his 'significant contribution' to the work of the IPCC, which received a joint-award of the Nobel Peace Prize that year. He is the author of Why We Disagree About Climate Change (Cambridge University Press, 2009).
