The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is currently in its Sixth Assessment cycle to assess scientific, technical, and socio-economic information concerning climate change. The information provided by the IPCC assessment reports assists the Government, private sector, academia, civil society, and other stakeholders in taking climate action. Since the iSchools has been working on different aspects of information around the world, information related to climate action has emerged as a significant area of focus within iSchools universities. Consequently, an initiative to form a Climate Action Coalition within iSchools has been taken to promote climate action-related information research. Therefore, it is crucial to discuss the research agenda the coalition can pursue in the coming months. The proposed workshop at the iConference 2023 aims to discuss developing a research agenda for iSchools on information and climate action that the Climate Action Coalition could later champion.
