The WG II Expert Review takes place from 11 June to 6 August 2012. It seeks wide participation of experts and aims for a range of views, expertise, and geographical balance. The WG II Bureau therefore invites all experts with expertise and/or publications in the specific areas covered by the IPCC Report on Impacts and Adaptation to assist in the assessment process by registering to review the chapter(s) of the First Order Draft for which he/she is an expert. Prospective Expert Reviewers are asked to provide information on their scientific and technical expertise. Please refer to the WG II AR5 approved outline below.

This is an opportunity to review if the draft is a balanced presentation of the current understanding in your field of expertise. In addition you may suggest relevant reviewed journal articles to be referenced in the report.
