Ecosystem Services)*.

Governments and relevant stakeholders can put forward nominations, from
which the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel of IPBES will select a maximum of
20% of experts from the stakeholder nominations, and the rest from the
government nominations. IPBES will make use of the best scientists and
experts from all relevant disciplines (natural science, social science,
economics, traditional knowledge), and will aim at a geographical and
gender balance among those experts in the delivery of the IPBES work
programme.

Herewith, we are seeking expert nominations for the Belgian government to
submit to the IPBES Secretariat. Background information on the IPBES, and
specific information for the applicants is provided in the attached
documents. All nominations (i.e. completed nomination template and current
