Details

At the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixtieth Plenary Session (Istanbul, Türkiye, 16 to 19 January 2024), the Panel decided to prepare a Seventh Assessment Report and also agreed on producing a distinct product revising and updating the 1994 IPCC Technical Guidelines on Impacts and Adaptation, including Indicators, Metrics and Methodologies, to be scoped, developed, reviewed and considered for approval and acceptance in conjunction with the Working Group II Contribution to the IPCC Seventh Assessment Report.

Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors and Review Editors were selected in accordance with IPCC procedures in July 2025, following an IPCC call for nominations in March 2025. The authors have now completed the First Order Draft of both products, which are ready for review.

Registration closes on 20 November 2026 at 10.59pm GMT.
