On Friday, 16 March 2018, caucus meetings will take place among the members of the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IIFBES) and Centres of Distinction on Indigenous and Local Knowledge, as well as the Open-ended Network of IPBES Stakeholders. The Stakeholder Day on 17 March will include, among others, a briefing on the #IPBES6 agenda and key topics, presentations by stakeholder networks about activities carried out in the inter-sessional period, as well as presentations by the co-chairs of the IPBES assessment on land degradation and restoration, and the four regional IPBES assessments on biodiversity and ecosystem services for Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, and Europe and Central Asia. The final agenda for Stakeholder Day will be available shortly. We would also like to inform you that there will be opportunities to highlight IPBES-related stakeholder initiatives during #IPBES6. Stakeholders interested in showcasing their IPBES-related initiatives are invited to do so my means of posters. Display boards will be made available by the secretariat for this purpose. Interested individuals and organizations are invited to apply to erect posters on the boards. These posters should showcase IPBES-related work, achievements, initiatives and information (for example on pollination or land degradation). Posters should not be smaller than A3 in size (29.7 x 42.0 cm) and not larger than A1 (59.4 x 84.1 cm). They should also be ?portrait? in terms of layout/orientation (?landscape? format will not be accepted). Only one poster per organizer/organization will be accepted. Posters will be displayed during the entire duration of the Stakeholder Day and Plenary session (from 16-24 March 2018). All posters will require the pre-approval of the IPBES secretariat and only approved posters will be displayed. IPBES will not be responsible for printing of the posters, however, to avoid delay, we encourage you to please submit an electronic copy of your poster design and include in your submission your name and country/institutional affiliation to Ms. Sarah Banda-Genchev by email on: stakeholders.ipbes at ipbes.net On a related note, a session will be held during the Stakeholder Day in which selected stakeholders will be able to showcase work undertaken to promote IPBES and its outputs. Organizations or individuals interested in doing so should please provide information on their initiatives, activities and stakeholder work in support of the work programme and deliverables, including promotion of IPBES assessments and products (avoiding reporting on purely administrative work) by sending an email to the project team at stakeholders.ipbes at ipbes.net ? given the time constraints on the programme, the project team will select which presentations will be included on the agenda. *Stakeholder Registration Protocol* Registration to attend Stakeholder Day is separate from the accreditation and registration process for the IPBES Plenary session.
