IPIECA contributing to the IPCC

The Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) acts as the focal point for the international oil and gas industry's interaction with the IPCC. Since the IPCC's formation, IPIECA has provided nominations of lead authors, extensive technical input to the peer review process and engagement in technical symposia. Four authors from IPIECA member companies participated in the Third Assessment Report.

The text and comments prepared by the CCWG for the IPCC draft papers and reports are well respected and generally incorporated in the respective final publications. IPIECA is recognized as a valuable source of industry knowledge and expertise. CCWG experts have contributed to a number of the IPCC’s recent activities, including: The Fourth Assessment Report; Special Report on Carbon Capture and Storage; 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.

The CCWG has also produced several IPCC-related documents. The most recent is the 4th Edition of A Guide to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
