United States Climate Change Science 

Program 

The United States Climate Change 

Science Program requests expert review 

of the fourth and final volume of the 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment 

Report (‘‘Climate Change 2007: 

Synthesis Report’’). 

The IPCC was established by 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 policyrelevant scientific, technical, and socioeconomic information for understanding 

the scientific basis of climate change, 

potential impacts, and options for 

mitigation and adaptation. The First 

Assessment Report was completed in 

1990, the Second Assessment Report in 

1995, and the Third Assessment Report 

in 2001. Three working group volumes 

and a synthesis report comprise the 

Fourth Assessment Report. Working 

Group I assesses the scientific aspects of 

the climate system and climate change; 

Working Group II assesses the 

vulnerability of socio-economic and 

natural systems to climate change, 

potential negative and positive 

consequences, and options for adapting 

to it; and Working Group III assesses 

options for limiting greenhouse gas 

emissions and otherwise mitigating 

climate change. So far in 2007, all three 

working groups have had their 

contributions to the Fourth Assessment 

Report accepted by the Panel. These 

assessments were based upon the peerreviewed literature and have been 

characterized by an extensive and open 

review process involving both 

scientific/technical experts and 

governments before being accepted by 

the IPCC. 

The IPCC Secretariat has informed the 

U.S. Department of State that the 

second-order draft of the Synthesis 

Report of the Fourth Assessment Report 

is available for Expert and Government 

Review. This volume is composed of a 

Summary for Policymakers and an 

underlying report, integrating 

materials—in a non-technical fashion—

contained within the three working 

group contributions to the Fourth 

Assessment Report. 

The Climate Change Science Program 

Office (CCSPO) is coordinating 

collection of U.S. expert comments and 

the review of this collations by panels 

of Federal scientists and program 

managers to develop a consolidated U.S. 

Government submission. Instructions on 

how to format comments are available at 

http://www.climatescience.gov/Library/ 

ipcc/syr4ar-review.htm, as is the 

document itself and other supporting 

materials. Comments must be sent to 

CCSPO by 27 June 2007 to be 

considered for inclusion in the U.S. 

Government collation. 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. 

Properly formatted comments should 

be sent to CCSPO at SYR–4AR–

USGreview@climatescience.gov by COB 

Wednesday, 27 June 2007. Include 

report acronym and reviewer surname 

in e-mail subject title to facilitate 

processing.
