DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice 6672]
United States Global Change Research
Program
ACTION: Call for U.S. Nominations to
serve as Authors and/or Review Editors
of the IPCC Special Report ‘‘Managing
the Risks of Extreme Events and
Disasters to Advance Climate Change
Adaptation’’ June 17, 2009.
SUMMARY: The United States participates
in the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, an intergovernmental
body that oversees the development of
assessments of the state of knowledge
on climate change. The role of the IPCC
is to assess on a comprehensive,
objective, open and transparent basis,
the scientific, technical, and
socioeconomic information relevant to
understanding the scientific basis of risk
of human-induced climate change, its
potential impacts, and options for
adaptation and mitigation.
IPCC assessments are commissioned
by member governments and produced
by scientists and technical experts. The
reports undergo expert and government
review and are accepted by IPCC
member governments prior to their
release. Information on the IPCC and its
assessments and procedures can be
found at https://www.ipcc.ch.
Every six to seven years, the IPCC
produces a comprehensive three-volume
assessment of the state of knowledge of
climate change. Volumes in this
comprehensive assessment cover
climate change science; impacts,
vulnerability and adaptation; and
mitigation. The most recent of these was
finalized in 2008; the next
comprehensive assessment will be
finalized in 2014.
In addition to this comprehensive
assessment, the IPCC periodically
produces ‘‘special reports’’ that address
specific topics on climate change. At the
IPCC’s most recent plenary meeting on
April 21–23, governments approved the
production of a ‘‘Special Report on
Managing the Risks of Extreme Events
and Disasters to Advance Climate
Change Adaptation.’’
Under IPCC procedures, member
governments have an opportunity to
provide nominations for authors to be
involved in the production of each
chapter in the report. The United States
provides this call for nominations for
U.S. authors or reviewers for the subject
report. The subject report will require
the contributions of experts who can
integrate the findings of the climate
change science; vulnerability, impacts,
and adaptation to extreme events; and
