Working Group I Home

 

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been established by WMO and UNEP to assess scientific, technical and socio- economic information relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. It is open to all Members of the UN and of WMO.

 

 

 

 

IPCC has now launched the Call for Nominations for the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).


Governments and participating organisations are invited to nominate experts to participate in the preparation of the three Working Group contributions to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) as coordinating lead authors, authors and review editors. Click here to access the IPCC AR5 Nominations Portal, which routes IPCC Focal Points and representatives of participating organisations to the individual working group nomination pages.

 

Nominations for the WGI AR5 may be submitted until 5pm CET on 12 March 2010. For more information about WGI AR5, click here.

 

 

 

During its 11th Session (27-28 October 2009), the IPCC Working Group I (WGI) finalized and approved the chapter outline of the WGI contribution to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). The WGI outline together with those for the other two Working Groups was then accepted by the 31st Session of the IPCC on 29 October 2009 in Bali. The complete WGI AR5 Chapter Outline including additional information on Annex I: Atlas of Global and Regional Climate Projections may be found here.

 

At the 29th Session of the IPCC (31 August - 4 September 2008), new Working Group I co-chairs were elected to oversee development of the Physical Science Basis volume of the Fifth Assessment Report: Dr. Thomas Stocker of Switzerland and Dr. Dahe Qin of China.

 

The IPCC Working Group I (WG I) assesses the physical scientific aspects of the climate system and climate change. Its latest report "Climate Change 2007 - The Physical Science Basis" was launched on 2 February 2007 in Paris. The full report is available online and was published by Cambridge University Press in July 2007.

 

 

 

The WG I Technical Support Unit, which manages the organizational and administrative activities of the Working Group, is hosted by the University of Bern, Switzerland.
