The structured expert dialogue - The 2013-2015 review

The structured expert dialogue - The 2013-2015 review

Back

In 2012, the COP decided to establish a structured expert dialogue that aims to support the work of a Joint Contact Group of SBSTA and SBI and to ensure the scientific integrity of the review through a focused exchange of views, information and ideas.

Ensuring the scientific integrity of the review, the structured expert dialogue is an appropriate vehicle for open and substantive discussions between Parties on the scientific knowledge and evidence based climate policy formulation. It will consider scientific information relevant to the review through regular scientific workshops and expert meetings and will assist the preparation and consideration of synthesis reports on the review.

The second meeting of the structured expert dialogue on the 2013-2015 review (SED 2)

Date: 12, 13 November 2013, 15.00-18.00
Venue: Meeting Room 2, National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland

The goals of SED 2 are: to assess the adequacy of the long-term global goal to the extent possible, on the basis of the informal note the AR5 WGI; to assess the overall progress made so far towards achieving the long-term global goal, as well as the projected progress, including the likelihood of meeting and maintaining the goal; and to share lessons learned on the effectiveness of the support provided. The summary for policymakers, technical summary and the full report of AR5 WGI is available on the IPCC website. (video)
