Abstract :With the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in December 2019 and the fact that face-to-face meetings began to be held electronically all over the world, the IPCC had to hold its own meetings in a virtual environment. However, the participation in these meetings held online from many different parts of the world and in a very large scale brought along some difficulties. Within the scope of this study, it was investigated how the activities of the IPCC were affected by the pandemic process, what problems occurred due to the virtual environment of the activities, and how successful the IPCC was in solving these problems. It is among the aims of the study to guide large organizations that need to be held in virtual environments in special situations such as pandemics in the future, to provide insight into these studies and to shed light on what problems may arise. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the IPCC faced serious difficulties due to the size of the climate change organizations held in virtual environments and the participation from different locations, but these problems were overcome as a result of intensive and detailed studies, and as a result, it held productive meetings. However, it can be said that there are time differences, possible technological infrastructure deficiencies and similar difficulties, that the agenda items are not discussed sufficiently and thus the efficiency of the meetings decreases. Various suggestions have been made to ensure that both the IPCC and similar international large meetings can be carried out with maximum efficiency.
