Call for Nominations of Canadian Experts - Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors and Review Editors for IPCC Special Report on Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate.
Deadline: April 26, 2017
This is a call for nominations of Canadian experts to be considered for participation as Coordinating Lead Authors (CLAs), Lead Authors (LAs), and Review Editors for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Special Report on Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate. The outline of the Special Report is available here.
CLAs and LAs will attend four author meetings between 2017 and 2019 and possibly other chapter drafting meetings. In addition, selected authors may also be expected to attend sessions of the IPCC and its Working Groups in 2019 to finalize the Summary for Policy Makers. Authors are responsible for drafting the different chapters of the Special Report and making revisions to address comments received during the expert review and governments review process. Review Editors ensure that all comments are considered by the authors. The time commitment is less than that for Lead Authors but will include attendance at two Lead Authors meetings between 2017 and 2018.
Nomination instructions: If you wish to be nominated for contribution to the 2019 Methodology Report, please send an email to ec.giec-ipcc.ec@canada.ca to request the nomination form and return it along with your English Curriculum Vitae (max. 4 pages) to ec.giec-ipcc.ec@canada.ca by 5:00pm pacific standard time on April 26, 2017. Please use the following format to name the file: LastName_FirstInitial.xls
Selection process: Nominations will be assessed and submitted to the IPCC by the IPCC Focal Point for Canada. Restrictions on the number of Canadian nominees may be imposed based on nominees’ qualifications, as well as financial or other considerations. The IPCC Secretariat for Canada will inform successful candidates of their nomination status. Individuals selected to participate as Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors, and Review Editors will be notified directly by the IPCC. The Government of Canada may provide financial assistance for the travel expenses of selected experts.
IPCC selection criteria: The group of selected authors will aim to reflect the range of scientific, technical and socio-economic expertise; geographical representation; a mixture of experts with and without previous experience in IPCC; and gender balance.
Background: IPCC writing and review process is described in the “Procedures for the Preparation, Review, Acceptance, Adoption, Approval and Publication of IPCC Reports” which can be viewed here. The tasks and responsibilities for CLAs, LAs, and Review Editors are detailed in Annex 1.
