The document provides an update on preparations for the IPCC's upcoming Special Report on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL). It notes that the SRCCL is one of three Special Reports to be published during the IPCC's 6th Assessment cycle, with approval scheduled for August 2019. It outlines the structure and timeline for developing the SRCCL, including lead author meetings, deadlines for submission of chapters and reviews, and the approval process. The SRCCL will assess climate change impacts on and risks from land, desertification, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes related to terrestrial ecosystems.

43rd SESSION OF THE IPCC – Nairobi – 2016

5. This Special Report emerged from a cluster
of six proposals

6. 100 experts and Bureau members attended
the Scoping Meeting in February 2017,
Dublin to develop the outline

7. At the 45th session of the IPCC the Panel
approved the outline
The agreed title was “Climate
Change and Land: An IPCC
special report on climate
change, desertification, land
degradation, sustainable land
management, food security and
greenhouse gas fluxes in
terrestrial ecosystems”

8. Agreed structure of the report:
