Project Abstract
The aim of this fellowship is to manage and provide coordination, writing and support to facilitate the seamless collaboration, collation and dissemination of the 5YAR-1. It will then place the four volumes in the context of the outputs from international assessments such as the IPCC AR6.
Drawing upon experience with the IPCC AR6 and the WMO�s GCOS Reference Upper Air Network (GRUAN), skills will be developed to curate a Document Management System that will enable the secure storage and exchange of the 5YAR-1 report through its inception, evolution and progression to final draft.
Through stakeholder workshops and writer meetings, the workflow process will be developed, and Terms of Reference outlined. The development of a national assessment and analysis capacity will also be incorporated. Building upon contacts within IPCC and with various national assessment teams to learn best practices, a methodology and template for future reports will be a key output component.
Relevant messaging through the four volumes will be assessed continually, in parallel with ensuring consistency, language and tone. Finally, communications plans including potentially a Climate Dashboard will be employed to communicate harmonised climate messages to stakeholders, policymakers and outreach targets, based upon the synthesis report and other salient findings
