Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change Special Report Review
Department of State.
The United States Global
Change Research, in cooperation with
the Department of State, request expert
review of the Special Report on
Managing the Risks of Extreme Events
and Disasters To Advance Climate
Change Adaptation (SREX) of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The IPCC was established as
an intergovernmental body under the
auspices of the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP) and
the World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) in 1988. In accordance with its
mandate and as reaffirmed in various
decisions by the Panel, the major
activity of the IPCC is to prepare
comprehensive and up-to-date
assessments of policy-relevant
scientific, technical, and socioeconomic information for understanding
the scientific basis of climate change,
potential impacts, and options for
mitigation and adaptation. More
information about the IPCC can be
found at https://www.ipcc.ch.
The IPCC develops a comprehensive
assessment spanning all the above

topics approximately every six years. In
addition to these comprehensive
assessments, the IPCC periodically
develops Special Reports on specific
topics. The Preparation of Special
Reports follows the same procedures as
for the Assessment Reports.
Governments develop and approve
plans for reports, and nominate
scientists and experts as lead authors
and reviewers. Authors prepare the
reports, which go through several stages
of review, following which member
governments at a session of the IPCC
accept them. Member governments also
approve the executive summaries of the
reports (known as a ‘‘summary for policy
makers’’) in detail at the time that they
accept the overall report. Principles and
procedures for the IPCC and its
preparation of reports can be found at
the following Web sites:
• https://www.ipcc-wg2.gov/AR5/
extremes-sr/extremes_documents/ipccprinciples-appendix-a.pdf (pdf)
• https://ipcc.ch/organization/
organization_procedures.shtml
In April 2009, the IPCC approved the
development of a special report on
‘‘Managing the Risks of Extreme Events
and Disasters to Advance Climate
Change Adaptation (SREX).’’ The
SRREX is being developed under the
leadership of the IPCC Working Group
II. This report will exclusively focus on
events and disasters that are related to
climate change. The IPCC 4th
Assessment Report identified and
demonstrated the usefulness of taking a
risk perspective in order to identify
ways in which civil society can promote
sustainable development while reducing
the risk of climate-related damages and
taking advantage of opportunities that
climate change will offer. This Special
Report aims to assess policies, measures
and tools and practice for managing the
risk of extreme events to advance
effective adaptation.
All IPCC reports go through two broad
reviews: a ‘‘first-order draft’’ for experts,
and a ‘‘second-order draft’’ for experts
and governments. The IPCC Secretariat
has informed the U.S. Department of
State that the second-order draft of the
SREX is available for expert and
government review on February 7.
The approved outline of the report
has a total of nine chapters. The early
sections of the report discusses new
dimensions in disaster risk, exposure,
vulnerability and resilience, the
determinants of risk, and changes in
climate extremes and their associated
impacts on the natural environment,
human systems and ecosystems. The
following section of the report discusses
risk management at the local, national
and international including cross-scale

integrations. The report then outlines
synergies between disaster risk
management and climate adaptation as
critical components for a resilient and
sustainable future. The report closes
with cases studies on extreme events,
vulnerable populations and settings,
and management approaches.
As part of the U.S. Government
Review of the SREX, the U.S.
Government is soliciting comments
from experts in relevant fields of
expertise. The Global Change Research
Program will coordinate collection of
U.S. expert comments and the review of
the report by panels of Federal scientists
and program managers in order to
develop a consolidated U.S.
Government submission. Expert
comments received within the comment
period will be considered for inclusion
in the U.S. Government submission.
Instructions for review and submission
of comments are available at https://
www.globalchange.gov/srexreview.
To be considered for inclusion in the
U.S. Government collation, comments
must be received by midnight March
7th, 2011. Comments submitted for
consideration as part of the U.S.
Government Review should be reserved
for that purpose, and not also sent to the
IPCC Secretariat as a discrete set of
expert comments. Comments should be
submitted using the Web-based system
at: https://www.globalchange.gov/
srexreview.
This certification will be published in
the Federal Register.
