Climate Change and Biodiversity: IPCC Technical Paper V

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Technical Paper on Climate Change and Biodiversity is the fifth paper in the IPCC Technical Paper series, and was produced in response to a request from the Subsidiary Body for Scientific, Technical, and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. This Technical Paper, as all Technical Papers, is based on the material in previously approved/accepted/adopted IPCC assessment reports and Special Reports and was written by Lead Authors chosen for the purpose. It underwent a simultaneous expert/government review, followed by a final government review. The Bureau of the IPCC acted in the capacity of an editorial board to ensure that the review comments were adequately addressed by the Lead Authors in the finalization of the Technical Paper.
