At its 19th Session held in Geneva, April 17-20,
2002, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) welcomed a proposal
from WCP-Water and the Dialogue on Water and Climate for the preparation of
a Special Report on Water and Climate. A large number of the IPCC delegates
supported the proposal. The IPCC recommended that its Working Groups I and II
prepare a scoping paper in collaboration with Working Group III. This scoping
paper should be developed in consultation with WCP-Water and the Dialogue on
Climate and Water. A draft scoping paper should be developed within the next
3-4 months. The full scoping paper will be considered at the next IPCC Session
(in about one year). On the merits of the scoping paper, the IPCC may then
decide to develop a full Special Report on Water and Climate.
