Featuring contributions from world-leading scientists, and co-produced by Peers for the Planet and Exeter University, the Guide enables Parliamentarians to understand and respond to the urgent chalenges of climate change. The Guide has since been translated into Azerbaijani for COP29, and published in Portuguese for COP30 in Brazil. A new global edition ensures it is now an international resource for evidence-based policymaking.
