The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has opened registration for experts to serve as Expert Reviewers of the Second-Order Draft (SOD) of the 2027 Methodology Report on Inventories for Short-Lived Climate Forcers (SLCF), which is undergoing Government and Expert Review.
Scheduled for publication in the second half of 2027, the report is being prepared by the Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI). It will provide methodological guidance for estimating and reporting national annual anthropogenic emissions of short-lived climate forcers, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and other substances. Secondary human-induced substances are outside its scope.
To facilitate participation and clarify the Government and Expert Review process, the IPCC Focal Point for Italy will host an online Open Hour webinar.
The session will provide an overview of the purpose, scope and structure of the Methodology Report, explain the Second-Order Draft review process, offer practical guidance on registration and the submission of effective review comments, and clarify the role and expectations of Expert Reviewers. Time will also be reserved for questions from participants.
