1. What is an assessment report?
An assessment report is comprehensive, critical evaluation undertaken by independent experts and knowledge holders regarding the state of scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on, in this case, biodiversity and climate change, its trends and impacts and future risks, and options for actions to combat the two challenges. This assessment report is being undertaken to provide decisionmakers (of all scales) to have the latest evidence to inform their decision-making processes.
An assessment report is an iterative process that allows external engagement and public review to ensure legitimacy, relevancy and credibility.
