IPBES invitation to nominate experts to aid in delivering the IPBES work programme
24.01.2014 |
The second plenary of the Platform met in December 2013 and agreed an ambitious work programme for 2014-2018: Details of the agreed work programme are available in the advanced meeting report of the Plenary.(www.ipbes.net/images/IPBES-2-17%20%20%20-%20%20Advance%20En.pdf)
The IPBES Secretariat have now issued a call for experts to help scope, advise on and deliver the work programme. Governments and relevant stakeholders can put forward nominations, from which the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel of IPBES will select a maximum of 20% of experts from the stakeholder nominations, and the rest from the government nominations.
The UK expects IPBES to make use of the best scientists/experts from all relevant disciplines - natural science, social science, economics, data and modelling and traditional knowledge, and to achieve a geographical and gender balance among those experts in the delivery of the IPBES work programme.
More information of the required topics to be covered by experts, alongside the nomination forms and how to nominate can be found in the attachments below.
