DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 7065] 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change Special Report Review 

ACTION: The United States Global 

Change Research and Climate Change 

Technology Programs request expert 

review of the Special Report on 

Renewable Energy Sources and Climate 

Change Mitigation (SRREN) of the 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change (IPCC). 

SUMMARY: 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 http://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. 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 they are accepted by member 

governments at a session of the IPCC. 

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 (http:// 

www.ipcc.ch/pdf/ipcc-principles/ipccprinciples.pdf; http://www.ipcc.ch/ 

organization/ 

organization_procedures.htm). 

In April 2008, the IPCC approved the 

development of a Special Report on 

Renewable Energy Sources and Climate 

Change Mitigation (SRREN). The SRREN 

is being developed under the leadership 

of the IPCC Working Group III. This 

Special Report aims to provide a better 

understanding and broader information 

on the mitigation potential of renewable 

energy sources. More information on the 

report can be found at: http://www.ipccwg3.de/publications/special-reports. 

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 

SRREN is available for expert and 

government review. The report is 

structured with technology chapters— 

bio-energy, direct solar energy, 

geothermal energy, hydropower, ocean 

energy and wind energy—which feed 

into overarching chapters. A system 

integration chapter brings different 

aspects of energy demand and supply 

together. The report also considers the 

policy options, outcomes and 

conditions for effectiveness, and how 

accelerated deployment could be 

achieved in a sustainable manner. 

Capacity building, technology transfer 

and financing in different regions are 

also assessed. 

As part of the U.S. Government 

Review of the SRREN, the U.S. 

Government is soliciting comments 

from experts in relevant fields of 

expertise. The Global Change Research 

Program and Climate Change 

Technology Program Offices 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 http:// 

www.globalchange.gov/srrenreview. 

To be considered for inclusion in the 

U.S. Government collation, comments 

must be received by midnight July 18th, 

2010. 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: http://www.globalchange.gov/ 

srrenreview.
