If you and your organisation are interested to attend IPBES-7, you need to* register until 11 January 2019* on the IPBES website: https://www.ipbes.net/participants-information-ipbes7 According to the interim procedure organisations accepted as observers to previous plenary meetings (IPBES-1 to IPBES-6) do not need to reapply for observer status. However, *delegates from accredited observer organisations need to register individually and upload an official nomination letter from their organisation*. Organisations interest in becoming observers should indicate that to the IPBES secretariat when they register their delegates for the upcoming plenary meeting and submit the requested information. *Guide to IPBES plenary meetings for new observers provided by the Open-Ended Network of IPBES Stakeholders* A group of volunteers from different stakeholder organisations engaged in the Open-Ended Network of IPBES Stakeholders (ONet) developed a guide explaining the necessary steps to become an accredited observer organisation to the plenary, provides tips on how to prepare for negotiations and explains how decisions are made at plenary meetings. The guide is based on the experience over stakeholders who participated in several IPBES plenary meetings and includes publicly available information provided by the IPBES secretariat. The first edition of the guide was published prior IPBES-4 and it was updated before IPBES-5 and again before IPBES-7. The guide is a living document and your feedback is welcome. The development and distribution of the guide was kindly supported by WWF Germany. *Stakeholder Day prior IPBES-7, 28 April 2018* Ahead of each plenary, the IPBES secretariat convenes the IPBES Stakeholder Day(s) in collaboration with stakeholders. The next Stakeholder Day will be held in Paris (at UNESCO) on Sunday April 28, 2019. The agenda of the day will be available few weeks before at: www.ipbes.net/stakeholder-events In contrast to IPBES plenaries, participation in Stakeholder Day(s) is not restricted to IPBES member states and accredited observers: it is open to all interested individuals. Formal registration is however necessary to enable follow-up on participation, calibrate the venue (meals, rooms, etc.) and ensure security. You are invited to register for IPBES-7 Stakeholder Day at: www.ipbes.net/event/ipbes7-stakeholder-day With kind regards, Malte Timpte Malte Timpte M.Sc. in Technological and Socio-Economic Planning Consultant for Public Engagement & Environmental Politics > Institute for Biodiversity - Network e.V.

IPBES Belgian Focal Point: www.biodiversity.be/ipbes ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: IPBES secretariat Date: di 11 dec. 2018 om 15:13 Subject: EM/2018/31: Call for nomination of fellows for the development of scenarios on nature and its contributions to people, by 15 January 2019 To: Hilde Eggermont View this email in your browser 11 December 2018 EM/2018/31 *Call for nomination of fellows for the development of scenarios on nature and its contributions to people, by 15 January 2019* Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested stakeholders, I have the pleasure to invite nominations from Governments, relevant institutions and organizations for early career fellows, in the context of the IPBES Fellowship Programme, to support the IPBES expert group dedicated to scenarios and models of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The IPBES Fellowship Programme is part of a larger capacity-building portfolio of activities, and targets early career experts who wish to gain experience by participating in the work of IPBES (please see here for more information on IPBES capacity-building activities). The work would build on the IPBES methodological assessment of scenarios and models of biodiversity and ecosystem services approved by the IPBES Plenary in 2016 (please see here ), and aims to catalyse further development of scenarios and models by the broader scientific community for future IPBES work (decision IPBES-5/1). The IPBES expert group on scenarios and models for biodiversity and ecosystem services has held several consultations over the course of 2017-18 to develop a new set of positive scenarios on the future of nature and its contributions to people. This process brings together a wide range of stakeholders at multiple scales, including representatives of the scientific community, international institutions, governments, the private sector, indigenous peoples and local communities, and non-governmental organisations. These stakeholders are invited to discuss alternative visions for the future of nature and its contributions to people, as well as possible pathways for these visions. The expert group will analyse these inputs in an iterative manner and at multiple scales, using a wide array of knowledge and evidence, from quantitative modelling to indigenous and local knowledge. The selected fellows will support the expert group on scenarios and models in this consultative process and in producing reports and scientific papers. Fellows will be given the opportunity to attend workshops, starting with the stakeholder consultation workshop scheduled in April 2019, and, depending on the capacity building programme for 2019, may receive training on the IPBES assessment processes. This fellowship will initially be until the end of 2019, with the possibility of an extension subject to the outcomes of the seventh session of the IPBES Plenary (#IPBES7). For an effective implementation of these deliverables, it is critical to include fellows from various natural and social scientific disciplines and from different knowledge systems, including indigenous and local knowledge systems, as well as policy and technical experts and practitioners. Nominations from a broad range of organizations/institutions are thus encouraged. More information on the nomination process is included in the annex below. Interested candidates (nominees) are requested to fill out their application form *no later than 15 January 2019*. Nominators (Governments/organisations/institutions) should submit nominations by *22 January 2019 at the latest.* Earlier nominations are strongly encouraged. I thank you in advance for your nominations and your continued support to IPBES. Yours sincerely, *Anne Larigauderie* | Executive Secretary Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services *Annex: Nomination procedure * Please follow this procedure to nominate fellows: 1.
