MANAGING THE RISKS OF EXTREME EVENTS AND DISASTERS TO ADVANCE CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION

---

This volume, Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation, is a Special
Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report is a collaborative effort of Working Group I
(WGI) and Working Group II (WGII). The IPCC leadership team for this report also has responsibility for the IPCC Fifth
Assessment Report (AR5), scheduled for completion in 2013 and 2014.
The Special Report brings together scientific communities with expertise in three very different aspects of managing
risks of extreme weather and climate events. For this report, specialists in disaster recovery, disaster risk management,
and disaster risk reduction, a community mostly new to the IPCC, joined forces with experts in the areas of the physical
science basis of climate change (WGI) and climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability (WGII). Over the
course of the two-plus years invested in assessing information and writing the report, scientists from these three
communities forged shared goals and products.
