Changing terms to match the IPCC

We concluded that given the IPCC’s unique position as representing the state-of-play on climate science, and our focus on the international policy-making space, we should update our own terminology to match that of the report.
Specifically, in our communications and information products, we will use the terms as defined in the IPCC report’s glossary – and are updating our website and materials accordingly. To that end:
