IPCC assessments are as
good as the literature
available.
Look out for the various cut off
dates for literature for the
different reports.
Bureaux selects Authors and
Review Editors from lists of
nominations provided by
governments and observer
organizations.
Look out for the calls for
nomination of authors and
contact your IPCC Focal Point
if you are interested in being
nominated.
Be involved in the two review
stages:
Expert Review of the First
Order Draft
&
Government and Expert
Review of the Second Order
Draft

11. Work with IPCC Focal Points from your country
Each IPCC Member country has a National Focal Point (NFP) which has been identified
by the relevant authorities in the country. You can find their details on the IPCC website:
www.ipcc.ch
Become an Observer Organization to the IPCC
Any non-profit body or agency, whether national or international, governmental or intergovernmental
may be admitted as an observer organization (subject toacceptance by the Panel).
See the "IPCC Policy and Process for Admitting Observer Organizations“: www.ipcc.ch
Organize and Participate in Outreach Events
Outreach events create awareness about the work of the IPCC and its findings and are carefully
tailored to the specific regional, national and stakeholders’ needs.
Contact: ipcc-media@wmo.int
Participate in IPCC Sessions
Participation of Government representatives in IPCC sessions ensures that your country’s voice is
heard (nomination is by NFP). Representatives of observer organizations may also attend.
