Description

These guidance notes are intended to assist Lead Authors of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in the consistent treatment of uncertainties across all three Working Groups. These notes define a common approach and calibrated language that can be used broadly for developing expert judgments and for evaluating and communicating the degree of certainty in findings of the assessment process.

Although this Guidance Note is specifically addressing the authors of the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report, it also contains background information and suggestions that can be useful more broadly.
