At its 43rd Session (Nairobi, Kenya, 11 – 13 April 2016), the IPCC Panel decided
to prepare a special report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas
fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems.
Experts will meet on 13 - 17 February 2017 in Dublin, Ireland to prepare a draft outline for the report to be considered by the Panel at its next
Session in March 2017.
The Special Report will be developed under the joint scientific leadership of Working Groups I, II and III supported by the WG III TSU.
