Twitter has stated that it will provide additional information in the coming months regarding how it intends to provide “reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations” that its users engage in.

This context will include information from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Twitter users will be able to access this information.
