More information about the IPCC Sixth Assessment Synthesis Report (SYR) and the scoping meeting

The preliminary broad outline of the tentative broad elements underpinning the SYR, as contained in document IPCC-XLVI/Doc. 6: https://apps.ipcc.ch/eventmanager/documents/47/040820171122-Doc.%206%20-%20SYR_Scoping.pdf

In accordance with Appendix A to the Principles Governing IPCC Work, the Synthesis Report will synthesize and integrate materials contained within the Assessment Reports and Special Reports of the Sixth Assessment cycle and should be written in a non-technical style suitable for policymakers and address a broad range of policy–relevant but policy-neutral questions approved by the Panel. 

Appendix A to the Principles Governing IPCC Work also stipulates that the IPCC Chair, in consultation with the Working Group Co-Chairs will select the participants to the scoping meeting. In selecting scoping meeting participants, consideration should be given to the following criteria: scientific, technical and socio-economic expertise, including the range of views; geographical representation; a mixture of experts with and without previous experience in IPCC; and gender balance. 

The AR6 Synthesis Report, as it builds on and complements the three Special Reports and the three main Working Group reports, as well as the Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI) report, requires a broad approach connecting diverse knowledge areas. Synthesis Report Scoping Meeting participants should, in addition to a strong competence in their scientific field, have a solid understanding of the interfaces between the disciplines and the IPCC Working Groups as well as expertise relevant to the AR6 reports. Participants should also have a clear perception of what constitutes new knowledge on the one hand, and key policy needs, including those of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, on the other.
