BILLING CODE 8011–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 6877] 

Invitation for Recommendations for 

U.S. Authors and Reviewers to the 

Fifth Assessment Report of the 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change (IPCC) 

ACTION: Invitation for recommendations 

for U.S. authors and reviewers to the 

Fifth Assessment Report of the 

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change (IPCC). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of State 

invites recommendations for qualified 

U.S. experts to serve as authors or 

reviewers of the Fifth Assessment 

Report of the Intergovernmental Panel 

on Climate Change (IPCC), which will 

be developed and finalized over the 

coming four years. 

DATES: Qualified U.S. experts wishing to 

be considered for nomination should 

submit an electronic application and 

supporting material conforming to the 

information specified at http:// 

www.globalchange.gov by February 

15th, 2010. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IPCC 

is an intergovernmental body that 

oversees the development of 

assessments on the state of knowledge 

on climate change by scientific and 

technical experts. In order to fulfill this 

role, the IPCC produces comprehensive 

assessment reports at regular intervals 

on major aspects of climate change and 

responses to it. These reports have been 

widely used as key references for the 

state of knowledge on climate change, 

including in international climate 

discussions under the United Nations 

Framework Convention on Climate 

Change (UNFCCC). The United States 

has played a leading role in the IPCC 

since its inception, through official 

contributions and key leadership 

positions in IPCC report development, 

as well as through the contributions of 

many U.S. scientist and experts to the 

reports themselves. The Fourth 

Assessment Report was completed in 

November 2007. 

Over 100 governments and 

organizations participate in the IPCC 

process that oversees the development 

of the comprehensive assessments. 

Governments develop and approve 

plans for reports, and nominate experts 

as lead authors and reviewers. Draft 

reports go through reviews by experts 

and governments, and IPCC member 

governments accept each final report, 

and approve their executive summaries 

(known as a ‘‘summary for policy 

makers’’) in a formal session of the IPCC. 

Three volumes are prepared under the 

auspices of three working groups. 

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, negative and positive 

consequences of climate change, and 

options for adapting to it; and Working 

Group III assesses options for limiting 

greenhouse gas emissions and otherwise 

mitigating climate change. A fourth, 

shorter volume synthesizes the material 

found in the three working group 

volumes. IPCC reports are prepared by 

author teams consisting of scientists and 

technical experts according to agreed 

principles and procedures, which 

specify the responsibilities of authors 

and reviewers in the development of 

IPCC reports. Copies of completed 

reports, as well as the IPCC’s principles 

and procedures and related information, 

can be found at http://www.ipcc.ch. 

At the 31st session of the IPCC (Bali— 

26–29 October, 2009), delegates 

accepted the overall outline and the 

work program for the Fifth Assessment 

Report. Volumes of the report will be 

finalized in 2013 and 2014. The IPCC 

has formally requested that governments 

and participating organizations
