How to register as an Expert Reviewer for the First Order Draft of the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Seventh Assessment Report and the Technical Guidelines for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Including Indicators, Metrics and Methodologies.
Participating in the expert review allows reviewers to contribute directly to the scientific robustness of two key IPCC products of the Seventh Assessment cycle, to support a balanced and comprehensive assessment of climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability, and to engage with an international community of experts contributing to climate policy-relevant science.
To facilitate participation and clarify the expert review process, the IPCC Focal Point for Italy will host an online Open Hour webinar. The session will provide an overview of the structure and scope of the WGII contribution to AR7 and the Technical Guidelines, practical guidance on how to submit review comments, and clarifications on the role and expectations of Expert Reviewers.
The event will be structured as a panel session to make the conversation more engaging and interesting for both speakers and participants.
