pdf WP018: Contribution of Information to Inform State of the Antarctic Environment Reporting (SAER): A Potential New SCAR Initiative

This paper describes the outcomes of a recent SCAR workshop to consider the potential provision of information to inform elements of ‘State of the Antarctic Environment Reporting’ (SAER). SCAR recommends that the Committee:

• Notes the recent SCAR workshops held to consider how best the scientific community might contribute to SAER (see the Workshop Report at  pdf Attachment A (535 KB) to this Working Paper).

• Considers the proposal by SCAR to develop a mechanism for the provision of information relevant to SAER; and

• Requests the views of CEP Members regarding (i) the usefulness of this proposal and (ii) if considered beneficial, what information would be most useful for supporting the Committee in their provision of advice to the ATCM on the state of the Antarctic environment.
