Description
The Plenary of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), in decision IPBES-11/1, approved the undertaking of a second global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In line with decision IPBES-11/1 and the procedures for the preparation of IPBES deliverables, the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel invites qualified experts to apply, and Governments and relevant organizations to nominate experts to participate in the second global assessment.
Experts should have experience in the conduct of regional and global analyses relating to nature and nature's contributions to people in terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine ecosystems.
Submit applications by 28 March.
The overall objective of the second IPBES global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services is to assess relevant knowledge that has become available since the publication in 2019 of The Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and to assess progress towards achieving the goals of sustainability and living in harmony with nature. The second global assessment will strengthen the science-policy interface on biodiversity and nature's contributions to people on a range of spatial scales, from the local to the global, by providing the knowledge and the policy support tools needed for informed decision-making. The second global assessment will be delivered in 2028.
