KP Supplement
Disclaimer
As part of its commitment to openness and transparency, the IPCC releases drafts that have been submitted for formal expert and/or government review, review comments on these drafts, and author responses to these comments after publication of the associated IPCC Report or Technical Paper. During the multi-stage review process, expert reviewers and governments are invited to comment on the accuracy and completeness of the scientific/technical/socioeconomic content and the overall balance of the drafts. Therefore, review comments and author responses should be considered within the context of the final report. Drafts, review comments, and author responses are pre-decisional materials that are confidential until publication of the final Report or Technical Paper; they are not the final Reports or Technical Paper and may not be cited, quoted, or distributed as such. Only the approved, adopted, and accepted Reports or Technical Papers may be cited or quoted.

Please take note of the following:
- Under IPCC procedures authors are required to take account of all substantive review comments in both review rounds. Thus, responses to individual comments may be influenced by comments from other reviewers.

KP Supplement Review Editor Reports
As defined in the Procedures for the Preparation, Review, Acceptance, Adoption, Approval and Publication of IPCC Reports, the role of the Review Editors in production of an IPCC Report is, among others, to ensure that all substantive expert and government review comments are afforded appropriate consideration, advise lead authors on how to handle contentious/controversial issues and ensure genuine controversies are reflected adequately in the text of the Report.
This document is a compilation of reports submitted by the Review Editors of the 2013 Revised Supplementary Methods and Good Practice Guidance Arising from the Kyoto Protocol (KP Supplement) in accordance with the IPCC Procedures. The Review Editors' reports are part of the quality control of the review process of the IPCC Report. They are not intended to be additional reviews of the content of the drafts of the KP Supplement.
