Guidance Note for Lead Authors of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report on Consistent Treatment of Uncertainties

This object has been archived because its content is outdated. You can still access it as legacy

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.
