From h.eggermont at biodiversity.be Thu Oct 12 18:10:21 2017 From: h.eggermont at biodiversity.be (hilde eggermont) Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 18:10:21 +0200 Subject: [ES] IPBES: 1st phase messages on the assessments (primers) Message-ID: Dear Colleagues IPBES has now released six so-called 'primers'. These are *short briefing documents that provide key information about each of the assessments* that members will consider for approval at the sixth session of the IPBES Plenary (IPBES-6) in Colombia next year. There are six primers in total ? one each for the four regional assessments, one for the assessment of land degradation and restoration, as well as a sixth general primer with information about all of the assessments as a whole. Attached, I am sending the English versions as a single batch; but you can also access the primers in the different languages from the IPBES Website . *I would like to ask for your kind assistance in helping us to spread these primers as widely as you can*. We need them to reach as many decision makers, influencers, experts and journalists as possible before the start of the Plenary next year ? to widen understanding of, and anticipation for, the launch of the five assessments. Done effectively, this should help to ensure the uptake and impact of the key messages, once launched.
