1. INTRODUCTION
At
the
29th
Session
of
the
IPCC
held
in
Geneva,
Switzerland
(September
2008),
Norway
introduced
a
proposal,
prepared
with
the
International
Strategy
for
Disaster
Reduction
(ISDR),
for
a
Special
Report
on
Managing
the
Risks
of
Extreme
Events
to
Advance
Climate
Change
Adaptation.
The
Panel
agreed
in
principle
to
convene
a
scoping
meeting
in
2009
to
provide
expert
advice
to
the
Panel
on
whether
to
develop
a
Special
Report
on
this
topic.
At
the
38
th
Session
of
the
IPCC
Bureau
(November
2008,
Geneva),
a
revised
proposal
was
presented,
and
the
Bureau
agreed
to
convene
a
scoping
meeting
in
the
second
half
of
March
2009.
It
was
agreed
that
if
the
outcome
of
the
scoping
meeting
was
a
recommendation
for
a
Special
Report,
the
meeting
should
also
deliver
a
scoping
paper,
including
a
timetable
and
proposed
outline
for
such
a
Special
Report,
for
decision
by
the
Panel
at
its
30th
Session
to
be
held
April
21
st
‐
23
rd
2009
in
Antalya,
Turkey.
This
scoping
paper
is
the
result
of
the
positive
decision
of
the
scoping
meeting
in
favor
of
a
Special
Report.

SCOPING
MEETING
ON
EXTREME
EVENTS
AND
DISASTERS:
MANAGING
THE
RISKS
From
March
23
rd
–
26
th
,
2009,
the
IPCC
scoping
meeting
on
Extreme
Events
and
Disasters:
Managing
the
Risks
was
held
in
Oslo,
Norway.
A
Science
Steering
Group
(membership
list
provided
in
Annex
1)
and
the
Co‐chairs
and
Technical
Support
Unit
(TSU)
for
IPCC
Working
Group
II
organized
the
meeting.
The
Norwegian
Pollution
Control
Authority
and
ISDR
provided
significant
support.
Seventy
countries
and
fifteen
observer
organizations
such
as
the
International
Red
Cross
nominated
about
375
experts
as
meeting
participants,
including
115
nominated
experts
from
developing
countries
and
countries
with
economies
in
transition.
The
IPCC
Trust
Fund
financed
participation
for
40
experts.
Approximately
140
experts
were
invited,
of
whom
117
from
51
countries
participated,
to
represent
the
three
communities
whose
expertise
would
be
needed
to
scope
a
possible
Special
Report:
climate
scientists,
experts
on
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
adaptation
policies
to
address
extreme
events
and
extreme
impacts,
and
experts
on
disaster
risk
reduction.
Fifteen
major
presentations
were
given
and
discussions
were
held
covering
all
aspects
of
a
possible
Special
Report.
After
extensive
discussion
of
different
possible
approaches,
the
participating
experts
reached
agreement
on
the
basic
structure
presented
in
this
document.
This
structure
was
elaborated
by
six
breakout
groups
and
an
integration
team
(membership
list
provided
in
Annex
2),
and
was
discussed
at
length
by
all
experts
present.

RATIONALE
FOR
PROPOSING
A
SPECIAL
REPORT
ON
MANAGING
THE
RISKS
OF
EXTREME
EVENTS
AND
DISASTERS
TO
ADVANCE
CLIMATE
CHANGE
ADAPTATION
The
mandate
of
the
scoping
meeting
was
to
guide
and
support
decision‐making
by
the
IPCC
on
a
possible
Special
Report
on
Managing
the
Risks
of
Extreme
Events
and
Disasters
to
Advance
Climate
Change
Adaptation.
Background:
The
IPCC
Fourth
Assessment
Report
(AR4)
concluded
that
climate
change
has
begun
to
affect
the
frequency,
intensity,
and
length
of
many
extreme
events,
such
as
floods,
droughts,
storms,
and
extreme
temperatures,
thus
increasing
the
need
for
additional
timely
and
effective
adaptation.
At
the
same
time,
gradual
and
non‐linear
change
to
ecosystems
and
natural
resources
and
increasing
vulnerability
further
increase
the
consequences
of
extreme
weather
events.
The
AR4
recognized
that
reducing
vulnerability
to
current
climatic
variability
can
effectively
reduce
vulnerability
to
increased
hazard
risk
associated
with
climate
change.
However,
the
AR4
reviewed
policies
and
measures
that
were
specifically
identified
as
adaptation
and
not
the
full
range
of
activities
undertaken
to
reduce
the
risks
of
extreme
events
and
disasters.
Parties
to
the
United
Nations
Framework
Convention
on
Climate
Change
(UNFCCC)
acknowledged
the
relevance
of
disaster
risk
reduction
to
advance
adaptation
in
the
December
2007
Bali
Action
Plan,
which
calls
for
enhanced
action
on
risk
management
and
risk
reduction
strategies,
including
risk
transfer
mechanisms
such
as
insurance,
and
disaster
reduction
strategies
to
lessen
the
impact
of
disasters
on
developing
countries.
Disaster
risk
reduction
efforts
are
guided
by
The
Hyogo
Framework
for
Action
20052015:
Building
the
Resilience
of
Nations
and
Communities
to
Disasters,
to
which
168
Governments
agreed
in
Hyogo,
Kobe,
Japan,
in
2005.
The
Framework
aims
for
“the
substantial
reduction
of
disaster
losses,
in
lives
and
in
the
social,
economic,
and
environmental
assets
of
communities
and
countries.”
As
part
of
its
text,
Governments
agreed
to
integrate
climate
change
adaptation
and
disaster
risk
reduction
through:
(i)
The
identification
of
climate‐related
disaster
risks;
(ii)
The
design
of
specific
risk
reduction
measures;
and
(iii)
The
improved
and
routine
use
of
climate
risk
information
by
planners,
engineers,
and
other
decision
makers.
Rationale:
The
participants
concluded
that
a
Special
Report
is
needed
for
the
following
reasons:
• The
Special
Report
would
contribute
to
the
goals
of
the
UNFCCC
and
to
the
work
of
the
Nairobi
Work
Programme
on
Impacts,
Vulnerability,
and
Adaptation
to
Climate
Change.
The
Nairobi
Work
Programme
is
structured
around
nine
areas
of
work,
including
“Climate
Related
Risks
and
Extreme
Events.”
The
objective
of
this
area
is
to
promote
understanding
of
the
vulnerability
to
and
impacts
of
climate
change,
current
and
future
climate
variability
and
extreme
events,
and
the
implications
for
sustainable
development.
3
At
the
UNFCCC
Subsidiary
Bodies
meeting
in
Bonn
in
2008,
in
the
context
of
the
Nairobi
Work
Programme,
Parties
requested
further
information
on
the
inclusion
of
disaster
risk
reduction
strategies
into
national
policies
and
programs.
The
Special
Report
would
complement
and
inform
the
work
done
within
the
Nairobi
Work
Programme
on
collecting
and
analyzing
information
on
adaptation
actions
and
advances
towards
integrating
disaster
risk
reduction
strategies
and
climate
change
adaptation
into
national
policies
and
programs.
• Disaster
risk
reduction
strategies
and
practice
are
primary
approaches
for
reducing
vulnerability
and
increasing
resilience
to
extreme
weather
events.
However,
there
has
not
been
a
comprehensive
assessment
of
the
guides,
frameworks,
and
tools
used
by
various
institutions,
organizations,
and
communities
to
build
the
capacity
for
reducing
vulnerability
and
risk;
to
develop
early
warning
systems;
to
strengthen
community
capacity
and
social
resilience,
particularly
among
the
most
vulnerable;
to
improve
construction
practices;
and
to
establish
preparedness
to
respond
to
inevitable
climate
impacts.
AR4
reviewed
programs
and
activities
on
adaptation
to
climate
change
and
not
the
wide
range
of
efforts
undertaken
worldwide
by
Governments
and
communities
to
promote
and
implement
disaster
risk
reduction,
sustainable
development,
and
environmental
risk
management.
An
in‐
depth
assessment
that
identified
successful
practices,
with
information
on
appropriate
contexts,
cost,
and
social
consequences,
and
potential
constraints,
would
provide
concrete
guidance
to
Governments
in
planning
and
implementing
adaptation
activities.
A
systematic
review
would
also
enable
Governments
to
identify
those
existing
practices
that
should
be
strengthened
because
they
provide
important
synergies.
Governments,
through
the
Nairobi
Work
Programme,
have
indicated
that
the
increasing
risks
of
extreme
climate
events
are
an
immediate
and
urgent
problem.
A
Special
Report,
completed
before
the
Fifth
Assessment
Report
(AR5),
would
help
guide
UNFCCC
Parties
in
their
development
of
disaster
risk
reduction
and
adaptation
strategies,
policies,
and
measures,
thus
reducing
the
extent
to
which
extreme
events
result
in
disasters.
• To
further
assist
the
IPCC
in
its
decision‐making,
Norway
reviewed
the
humanitarian
consequences
of
climate
change
and
compiled
a
detailed
bibliography
of
relevant
literature,
showing
there
is
substantial
literature
that
covers
peer‐reviewed
literature,
academic
books,
and
reports,
and
literature
that
is
produced
by
agencies
and
NGOs.
The
proposed
Special
Report
is
consistent
with
the
IPCC
framework
and
criteria
for
establishing
priorities
for
IPCC
reports,
in
particular
the
aim
to
“strive
to
serve
the
policy
community
with
relevant
information
in
a
pro‐active
fashion.”
It
also
meets
the
other
priority
guidelines:
sufficient
scientific
literature
exists;
the
primary
audience
is
the
UNFCCC
and
the
target
is
the
development
of
the
post‐
2012
agreement
and
adaptation
plans;
the
scientific
community
is
available;
and
the
topic
is
specific
in
scope.
A
Special
Report
could
be
finalized
in
the
second
half
of
2011,
thus
providing
the
necessary
information
to
Governments
sooner
than
the
AR5;
the
WGI
4
contribution
is
planned
for
completion
in
2013
and
the
WGII
and
WGII
contributions
are
planned
for
completion
in
mid‐2014.

PROPOSED
CONTENT
AND
STRUCTURE
OF
A
SPECIAL
REPORT
The
expert
participants
recommended
that
the
Special
Report,
if
approved,
should
focus
on
climate
change
and
its
role
in
altering
the
frequency,
severity,
and
impact
of
extreme
events
or
disasters,
and
on
the
costs
of
both
impacts
and
the
actions
taken
to
prepare
for,
respond
to,
and
recover
from
extreme
events
and
disasters.
The
emphasis
should
be
on
understanding
the
factors
that
make
people
and
infrastructure
vulnerable
to
extreme
events,
on
recent
and
future
changes
in
the
relationship
between
climate
change
and
extremes,
and
on
managing
the
risks
of
disasters,
over
a
wide
range
of
spatial
and
temporal
scales
(Figure
1).
The
assessment
should
consider
a
broad
suite
of
adaptations,
ranging
from
early
warning
to
insurance
to
altered
infrastructure
and
social
safety
nets.
It
should
also
explore
the
limits
to
adaptation,
the
conditions
that
can
transition
adaptation
into
maladaptation,
and
the
human
and
financial
consequences
of
those
limits.
Finally,
the
assessment
should
build
durable
links
and
foundations
for
partnerships
between
the
stakeholder
communities
focused
on
climate
change
and
those
focused
on
disaster
risk
reduction.
The
expert
participants
recommended
that
the
special
report
focus
on
three
kinds
of
extremes
or
disasters
with
the
potential
to
be
altered
by
climate
change
(Figure
2).
The
first
includes
extreme
events
for
which
climate
change
has
amplified
variability
or
may
do
so
in
the
future.
This
category
includes,
among
others,
aspects
of
floods,
droughts,
windstorms,
and
extreme
temperatures.
A
second
category
includes
events
in
which
trends
outside
the
domain
of
climate
increase
exposure
or
vulnerability
to
climate‐related
extremes.
Examples
include
coastal
development
increasing
exposure
to
storm
surges
on
top
of
sea‐level
rise
or
increasing
urbanization
amplifying
exposure
to
heat
waves
in
a
warming
climate.
The
third
is
new
kinds
of
potentially
hazardous
events
and
conditions
that
may
occur
as
a
result
of
climate
change.
This
category
includes
events
like
glacial
lake
outbursts
and
wildfire
in
forests
that
had
historically
been
too
wet
to
burn.
Disasters
of
more
complex
origin
such
as
landslides,
wild
land
fires,
and
Figure
1:
Conceptual
model
of
the
topics
to
be
assessed
in
the
special
report
and
of
the
links
among
them.
The
focus
will
be
on
the
part
of
the
domain
where
all
three
spheres
overlap.
5
insect
infestations
should
also
be
considered,
where
there
is
the
possibility
of
a
consequential
link
with
climate
change.
The
following
outline
was
agreed
by
the
expert
participants
to
ensure
the
most
informative
treatment
of
the
issues.
If
approved,
the
special
report
will
begin
with
material
that
frames
the
issues,
followed
by
an
assessment
of
vulnerability,
discussing
the
reasons
that
communities,
businesses,
and
ecosystems
are
vulnerable.
The
next
section,
consisting
of
two
chapters,
will
assess
the
role
of
past
and
future
climate
change
in
altering
extremes
and
the
impact
of
these
on
the
physical
environment,
human
systems,
and
ecosystems.
A
series
of
three
chapters
will
then
assess
available
knowledge
on
impacts
and
adaptation,
focusing
on
the
time
period
extending
from
a
few
years
in
the
past
to
several
years
into
the
future,
with
separate
chapters
considering
the
very
different
literature,
stakeholder
relationships,
and
potential
policy
tools
relevant
to
the
local,
national,
and
international
scales.
Longer
term
components
of
adaptation
to
weather
and
climate
extremes
and
disasters
will
be
assessed
in
the
context
of
moving
toward
sustainability.
Case
studies,
examples
focused
on
particular
kinds
of
extremes,
parts
of
the
world,
and
modes
of
adaption,
will
appear
in
the
report
in
three
ways.
Examples
useful
for
illustrating
specific
points
will
be
integrated
into
the
chapters
for
which
they
are
most
relevant,
in
some
cases
as
boxes.
Two
other
case
studies,
one
representing
an
extreme
with
a
clear
connection
to
climate
change
and
one
without,
will
form
a
thread
that
runs
through
all
of
the
chapters.
This
thread
of
common
case
studies
will
provide
a
set
of
reference
frameworks
for
exploring
findings
about
managing
the
risks
of
extremes
at
many
different
levels,
when
the
risks
are
known
relatively
well
and
relatively
poorly.
A
third
set
of
case
studies
will
be
collected
in
a
separate
chapter,
at
the
end
of
the
volume.
These
will
be
case
studies
that
integrate
themes
across
several
chapters
or
are
so
unique
that
they
need
to
be
considered
separately.
Each
chapter
will
pose
and
address
a
limited
number
of
carefully
selected
“Frequently
Asked
Questions”
concerning
key
stakeholder
concerns.
The
questions
and
the
answers
to
them
will
constitute
a
component
of
the
Special
Figure

Case
studies
This
chapter
will
include
up
to
25
case
studies
selected
to
illustrate
how
extreme
events
and
vulnerability
interact
to
result
in
disasters,
lessons
learned
on
effective
and
ineffective
approaches
to
preparing
for,
responding
to,
and
reconstructing
after
extreme
events.
Possible
case
studies
could
address
vulnerable
regions
(e.g.,
Bangladesh,
Southern
Africa),
vulnerable
kinds
of
settlements
(e.g.,
large
cities),
particular
kinds
of
extremes
(e.g.,
intense
rain,
persistent
heat
waves),
experience
with
particular
risk
management
strategies
(e.g.,
early
warning
systems),
or
integrated
evaluations
of
particular
events
(e.g.,
European
heat
wave
of
2003,
Australian
wildfires
of
2009).
The
individual
case
studies
will
be
written
by
contributing
authors
who
will
be
identified
in
association
with
the
case
study
each
wrote.
The
chapter
will
be
under
the
leadership
of
at
least
two
coordinating
lead
authors.

PROPOSED
MANAGEMENT
WITHIN
THE
IPCC
The
topic
of
the
proposed
Special
Report
draws
on
the
expertise
and
perspective
of
all
three
working
groups.
Input
from
WGI
is
necessary
to
provide
a
state‐of‐
the‐science
update
on
climate
change
and
extreme
events.
Input
from
WGII
is
necessary
for
assessing
vulnerability
and
impacts
to
extreme
events
and
disasters,
as
well
as
assessing
options
for
adaptation.
Input
from
WGIII
is
necessary
for
evaluating
the
issues
in
a
context
that
includes
mitigation,
especially
in
the
chapter
on
moving
toward
sustainability.
Operationally,
it
is
proposed
that
WGII
would
have
the
lead,
but
with
a
structure
and
philosophy
8
that
ensures
full
engagement
and
sharing
of
responsibility
among
all
three
working
groups.
Careful
attention
will
be
paid
to
avoid
potential
overlap
between
the
final
Lead
Author
meetings
of
a
Special
Report
and
the
first
Lead
Author
meetings
for
WGI.

TIME
SCHEDULE
AND
PROVISIONAL
BUDGET
ESTIMATE
If
the
30th
Session
of
the
IPCC
in
April
2009
decides
to
proceed
with
the
preparation
of
a
Special
Report,
a
call
for
nominations
of
Lead
Authors
would
be
issued
no
later
than
June
2009.
Approval
and
acceptance
of
the
Special
Report
would
be
planned
for
the
second
half
of
2011.
In
order
to
achieve
this
timetable,
one
Lead
Author
meeting
would
be
held
in
2009,
two
Lead
Author
meetings
in
2010,
and
one
Lead
Author
meeting
in
the
first
half
of
2011.
The
planning
would
be
designed
to
properly
synchronize
with
the
preparation
of
the
AR5.
Budget
2009:
assuming
1
Lead
Author
Meeting
with
45
journeys
of
DC
and
EIT
Lead
Authors
at
4.500
CHF
per
journey,
plus
15%
for
other
meeting
costs,
232.875
CHF
will
be
needed
from
the
IPCC
Trust
fund.
Budget
2010:
assuming
2
Lead
Author
Meetings
with
45
journeys
each
of
DC
and
EIT
Lead
Authors
at
4.500
CHF
per
journey,
plus
5
Review
Editors
for
each
meeting,
plus
15%
for
other
meeting
costs,
517.500
CHF
will
be
needed
from
the
IPCC
Trust
fund.
Budget
2011:
assuming
1
Lead
Author
Meeting
with
45
journeys
of
DC
and
EIT
Lead
Authors
at
4.500
CHF
per
journey,
plus
5
Review
Editors,
plus
5
DC
and
EIT
CLAs
to
the
approval
meeting,
plus
15%
for
other
meeting
costs,
284.625
CHF
will
be
needed
from
the
IPCC
Trust
fund.
In
addition,
assuming
4
days
for
the
IPCC
Plenary
to
approve
the
Summary
for
Policymakers,
costs
are
projected
to
be
approximately
820.000
CHF
plus
27.000
for
a
preparatory
meeting
with
6
DC
and
EIT
CLAs
and
their
participation
in
the
Session.
The
total
budget
for
2011
will
then
amount
to
approximately
1.131.625
CHF.
Costs
for
translation
and
purchasing
of
the
Special
Report,
shipping
costs,
and
outreach
are
to
be
included
later.
