REMINDER: Call for nominations of experts and fellows (i.e., early career individuals) to participate in the methodological assessment of the impact and dependence of business on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people closing soon

Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested stakeholders,

With reference to notifications EM/2022/31 and EM/2022/32, I would like to remind you that the application period for experts and fellows (i.e., early career individuals) to participate in the methodological assessment of the impact and dependence of business on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people (“business and biodiversity assessment”) closes on 1 November 2022.

Nominators (Governments or organizations) are invited to approve the applications and submit their nominations by 15 November 2022. Early nominations ahead of the deadline are encouraged.

The assessment is aimed at categorizing how businesses depend on, and impact, biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people and at identifying criteria and indicators for measuring that dependence and impact, taking into consideration how such metrics can be integrated into other aspects of sustainability. For more information, please see the scoping report for the assessment as approved by IPBES-9/1 decision located here.

Please access the original notifications above for information on expertise and specific directions on the nomination process. If you experience technical issues, please contact us at [email protected]@.  

I thank you in advance for your nominations and your continued support to IPBES.
 

Dr. Anne Larigauderie | Executive Secretary
Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services(IPBES)
