Review Editors and Reviewers 

UNEP

Review Editors and Reviewers were selected through the nomination and engagement process by the GEO-6 Scientific Advisory Panel in consultation with the Secretariat and UNEP Chief Scientist’s Office, prior to the first round of peer-review. The primary role of the Review Editors was to ensure that all substantive expert and government review comments are afforded appropriate consideration by the Writing Teams. Review Editors were not intended to be additional reviewers of the content, but rather provide quality assurance and oversight on the review process itself. 

Key roles and responsibilities (Terms of Reference) 

  • provide oversight on the review process of designated sections; 
  • ensure all substantive review comments are afforded appropriate consideration; 
  • prepare written summaries of the most significant issues raised by reviewers;

  • be available to provide responses to the SAP when requested, on the review process; and 
  • prepare final reports to the Secretariat.
