Good afternoon,
We are writing to share an abridged version of the November 2025 IPCRG newsletter.

Given the recent COP30 climate summit in Belém, it seems appropriate to highlight work from our colleagues in Brazil, as well as various practical resources about climate change and the impact on air quality and health. We will have more on this at our conference in Tunis next year - take a look below as we begin to spotlight sessions from the scientific programme.
