DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8704] 

Call for Expert Reviewers to the U.S. 

Government Review of the Synthesis 

Report (SYR) of the Fifth Assessment 

Report of the Intergovernmental Panel 

on Climate Change (IPCC) 

SUMMARY: The United States Global 

Change Research Program, in 

cooperation with the Department of 

State, request expert review of the 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change (IPCC) Second Order Draft 

(SOD) Synthesis Report (SYR) of the 

Fifth Assessment (AR5). More 

information on the report can be found 

at http://www.ipcc-syr.nl/. 

The United Nations Environment 

Programme (UNEP) (http://

www.unep.org/) and the World 

Meteorological Organization (WMO) 

(http://www.wmo.int/pages/index_

en.html) established the IPCC 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-todate 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. The IPCC 

develops a comprehensive assessment 

spanning all the above topics 

approximately every six years. 

The First Assessment Report was 

completed in 1990, the Second 

Assessment Report in 1995, the Third 

Assessment Report in 2001, and the 

Fourth Assessment in 2007. Three 

working group volumes and a synthesis 

report comprise the Fifth Assessment 

Report. Working Group I assesses the 

scientific aspects of the climate system 

and climate change; Working Group II 

assesses the vulnerability of socioeconomic 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. The Synthesis Report 

(SYR) synthesizes and integrates 

material contained with IPCC 

Assessment Reports and Special 

Reports. The SYR is to be based 

exclusively on material contained in the 

three Working Group Reports and 

Special Reports produced during the 5th 

or previous Assessment Cycles. The 

SYR is to be written in language 

accessible to non-technical users and 

guide readers to underlying materials if 

they wish to explore topics in greater 

depth. 

Procedures for the IPCC and its 

preparation of reports can be found at 

the following Web sites: http://

procedures.shtml. 

In October 2010, the IPCC approved 

the outline for the SYR of AR5 (http:// 

www.ipcc.ch/meetings/session32/syr_

final_scoping_document.pdf). Authors 

were nominated and selected in March 

of 2012. All IPCC reports go through two 

broad reviews: a first-order draft 

reviewed by experts, and a second-order 

draft reviewed by both experts and 

governments. The SOD of the SYR for 

the AR5 will be available for review 

beginning on 21 April 2014. As part of 

the U.S. Government Review of the SOD 

of the SYR for the AR5, the U.S. 

Government is soliciting comments 

from experts in relevant fields of 

expertise. 

Experts may now register to review 

the draft report at: http://

review.globalchange.gov; the report will 

be available for download once it is 

released on 21 April 2014. To be 

considered for inclusion in the U.S. 

Government submission, comments 

must be received by 5PM EDT Monday, 

19 May 2014. The United States Global 

Change Research Program will 

coordinate collection and compilation 

of U.S. expert comments and the review 

of the report by a Review Committee of 

Federal scientists and program 

managers in order to develop a 

consolidated U.S. Government 

submission, which will be provided to 

the IPCC by 13 June 2014. Instructions 

for registering as a reviewer, the process 

of the review itself and details on how 

to submit comments, as well as the SOD 

of the report will be available at: http:// 

review.globalchange.gov. Experts may 

choose to provide comments directly 

through the IPCC’s expert review 

process, which occurs in parallel with 

the U.S. government & expert review. 

More information on the IPCC’s 

comment process may be found at 

http://www.ipcc.ch/activities/

activities.shtml and http://www.ipcc.ch/ 

pdf/ar5/review_of_wg_

contributions.pdf. 

To avoid duplication, those 

participating in the U.S. Government & 

Expert Review process (via http://

review.globalchange.gov) should not 

also participate in the Expert Review 

process that submits comments directly 

to the IPCC Secretariat. 

Comments to the U.S. government 

review should be submitted using the 

web-based system at: http://

review.globalchange.gov. This 

certification will be published in the 

Federal Register.

Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change, 

IPCC Focal Point for the United States,
