The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is in limbo after failing to finalise its budget. The deal fell apart when a group of fossil fuel producing countries pushed to delay the next tranche of climate data, which is due to be delivered ahead of next year's COP32 summit. Observers see the standoff as the latest example of oil and gas producers slowing international climate science efforts.
Why now: The budget collapse directly threatens IPCC work ahead of COP32, and the reported role of fossil fuel producing states is drawing criticism.
