Dear IPBES members,

With reference to notification EM/2021/23 I am pleased to announce the start of the additional review of the summary for policymakers of the assessment on values. The external review is open from 5 to 31 October 2021.

The IPBES Plenary, at IPBES 8, decided, notwithstanding section 3.1 and related provisions of the procedures for the preparation of IPBES deliverables, to enable Governments to undertake an additional review of the summary for policymakers of the assessment report on the methodological assessment regarding the diverse conceptualization of multiple values of nature and its benefits, including biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services (IPBES-8/1).

This additional review is addressed to Governments. If you would like to participate as a reviewer in this external review, please follow these steps: 

1. Register as a user of the IPBES website (https://ipbes.net/user/register) if you have not already done so; 

2. Register as an expert reviewer for the assessment of values at  https://ipbes.net/registration/values-assessment/tod (this will only work when logged in first as an IPBES website user);
3. Once registered, you will immediately receive an email providing confidential access to the material and will be requested to submit your comments in English using a template available on the same webpage.   

I thank you for your continued support to IPBES.
