   Dickinson and the IPCC will work together to plan a joint
symposium on “Climate Action: Science-Based Choices,” to be
held on Dickinson’s campus in October of 2022. The symposium
will feature presentations and dialogues among IPCC and other
scientists, policy makers, business leaders, activists and
Dickinson students and faculty.
   The IPCC plans to use the prize money to further fund the
IPCC Scholarship Programme, which provides scholarships for
Ph.D. students from developing countries to conduct research
that advances understanding of climate change risks and
response strategies.
