What are the list of expertise?
In order to determine robust areas of consideration, participants in the Scoping Meeting should have a broad understanding
of climate change and related issues, and should collectively have expertise in the following areas:
Working Group I
Climate system (atmosphere, ocean, land surface, cryosphere): observations (past and present), processes, and interactions
Natural and anthropogenic drivers of climate change (land use, well-mixed greenhouse gases, short-lived forcers including aerosols), carbon and other biogeochemical cycles
Climate modelling, model evaluation, predictions, scenarios and projections, detection and attribution, on global and regional scales
Earth system feedbacks and dynamical responses, including abrupt change
Climate variability, climate phenomena and teleconnections, extremes and implications for regional climate
Working Group II
Impacts on and vulnerability of natural and managed systems (land, freshwater and oceans) including genetics, physiology and regional ecosystem expertise
Palaeo and historical views of natural, managed and human systems across regions
Impacts, vulnerability and risks for sectors including fisheries, agriculture, tourism, transport, resource extraction, energy
Impacts, vulnerability and risks for human systems including health and well being, indigenous and cultural, livelihoods, poverty
Impacts, vulnerability and risks for settlements, including rural, urban, cities, and those on small islands and in coastal areas, and related systems and processes including food, economic and energy security, migration
Adaptation needs, options, opportunities, constraints and influencing factors including contributions from psychology, sociology, and anthropology
Approaches for adaptation to climate change: ecosystem and community based adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and early warning systems
Socio-cultural, anthropological and psychological background of making and implementing decisions
Working Group III
Socio-economic scenarios, modelling and transitions at the global, regional, national and local scales including integrated assessment approaches
Energy systems including supply and energy demand sectors (e.g., industry, transport, buildings). Mitigation responses in agriculture, forestry, land use and waste
Consumption patterns, human behavior and greenhouse gas emissions, including economic, psychological, sociological and cultural aspects
Policies, agreements and instruments at the international, national and subnational levels, including those at the city level
Technology innovation, transfer and deployment
Financial aspects of response options
Cross-cutting areas of expertise
Co-benefits, risks and co-costs of mitigation and adaptation, including interactions and trade-offs, technological and financial challenges and options
Ethics and equity: climate change, sustainable development, gender, poverty eradication, livelihoods, and food security
Perception of risks and benefits of climate change, adaptation and mitigation options, and societal responses, including psychological and sociological aspects
Climate engineering, greenhouse gas removal, and associated feedbacks and impacts
Regional and sectorial climate information
Epistemology and different forms of climate related knowledge and data, including indigenous and practice-based knowledge
