Abstract

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) fifth assessment report (AR5) will be the culmination of over two decades of evolution for the IPCC since the first assessment report was released in 1990. While it is too late to alter the structure of AR5, there are opportunities to prioritize the recruitment of contributing authors and reviewers with expertise on Indigenous issues, raise awareness among Chapter authors on the characteristics of impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability faced by Indigenous peoples, and serve to highlight ways Indigenous perspectives can help broaden understanding of climate change and policy interventions.
