SUBJECT: NORWAY IN FAVOR OF USG IPCC WG II NOMINEE AND ASKS
FOR US SUPPORT IN RETURN
REF: SECSTATE 82698
¶1. (SBU) In response to reftel, Poloff spoke with Oyvind
Christophersen and Marit Viktoria Pettersen, lead members of
the Norwegian delegation to the next IPCC Plenary. GON affirmed
that the US had contributed a lot to the IPCC and that its
continued involvement would be a good idea. GON said it was
“very much in favor” of Christopher Field, although it could
make no guarantees.
¶2. (SBU) GON asked for the US to support its nominee for
vice-chair of WG III, Oyvind Christophersen. He has been
involved with the IPCC since 1993 and was a lead author on
the IPCC Special Report on Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage.
GON also mentioned that it was important to have non-EU
countries like Norway participating in the bureau.
¶3. (SBU) GON introduced its “Proposal for an IPCC Special
Report on Managing the Risk of Extreme Events to Advance
Climate Change Adaptation,” which it is proposing in conjunction
with the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.
GON asked for US support for the report, which would be
carried out by WG II. GON added that it is willing to host
the scoping meeting for the report. WHITNEY
