*NOTIFICATION (Corrected version with a new date for the first author
meeting of the assessment on values) Call for nominations of experts Call
for expressions of interest in providing technical support units*
EM/2018/06/Rev.1 Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested
stakeholders,
We would like to thank you again for the great outcome of IPBES-6 in
Medellin, Colombia. Following that success, we are now contacting you
regarding the three assessments which the Plenary decided to initiate in
2018 and 2019.
The Plenary in decision IPBES-6/1 approved:
- the undertaking of a *methodological assessment regarding the diverse
conceptualization of multiple values of nature and its benefits*,
hereafter referred to as “the assessment on values”, *following IPBES-6*,
for consideration by the Plenary at IPBES-9 (section VI, para 3), based on
a scoping document
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=8da9ba2871&e=fe2a129752>set
out in annex VI to decision IPBES-4/1*;*
- the undertaking of a *thematic assessment of the sustainable use of
wild species* *following IPBES-6*, for consideration by the Plenary by
no later than IPBES-10 (section V, para 2), based on a scoping document
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=12430188f1&e=fe2a129752>
set out in annex IV to decision IPBES-5/1*;* and
- the undertaking of a *thematic assessment of invasive alien
species*, *following
IPBES-7*, for consideration by the Plenary at IPBES-10 (section V, para
3). Note that there will be a separate call for nominations of experts for
the assessment of invasive alien species, later this year.
In line with the agreed procedures for the preparation of the Platform’s
deliverables, the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel would like to formally
invite governments and other relevant stakeholders:
1. *to nominate experts *for:
1. the assessment on values; and
2. the assessment of the sustainable use of wild species; and
2. *to make offers for hosting a technical support unit (TSU) *for:
1. the assessment on values;
2. the assessment of the sustainable use of wild species; and
*1. Nomination of experts*
All governments and relevant organizations or institutions are encouraged
to submit nominations. Nominating organizations or institutions are not
required to have been admitted to the Plenary of IPBES as an observer.
Please help us to disseminate this call for nominations of experts widely
to relevant institutions and organizations.
Expertise of candidates should match the needs of one of the two
assessments, and be in line with the themes and skills required in the
chapters of their respective scoping documents.
Nominated experts should have expertise in one or more disciplines of
natural science, social science or the humanities, be indigenous and local
knowledge experts or have expertise in indigenous and local knowledge
systems, or be policy experts and practitioners. All nominees should have
experience in working within interdisciplinary, international and/or global
contexts.
We are particularly looking for experts with a scientific and/or practical
background in: ecological and environmental economics, environmental and
sustainability sciences, environmental ethics and philosophy, environmental
sociology and anthropology, environmental psychology and behavioral
science, environmental history, science and technology studies, political
ecology, human geography, human ecology, cultural ecology, environmental
policy and law, political sciences and trade, and from other fields related
to integrative approaches to human-nature relations and linking knowledge
to policy and practice.
Governments and organizations are invited to nominate women as well as men
with a diversity of disciplinary backgrounds in order to ensure a balanced
team of experts.
