This is a call for nominations of Canadian experts to be considered as Coordinating Lead Authors (CLA’s), Lead Authors (LA’s), and Review Editors for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. The outline of this Special Report can be found here.
CLA’s and LA’s are responsible for drafting and revising chapters of the Special Report, taking into account comments submitted during the expert review and review by governments. A subgroup of authors will also contribute to drafting, revising and finalizing the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of this Special Report.
CLA’s and LA’s will be expected to attend four Lead Author meetings between 2017 and 2018 and possibly other chapter drafting meetings. Most chapter drafting meetings will be conducted through web conferences. CLA’s and selected LA’s may be required to attend Sessions of the IPCC and its Working Groups during 2018 to assist in finalizing the SPM. Review Editors are required to attend two Lead Author meetings between 2017 and 2018.
