[ES] May 15: Belgian IPBES Workshop on the Review of the Global Assessment

Wed May 2 15:59:51 CEST 2018

Dear colleagues,

Thanks to those that completed the doodle form for the Belgian IPBES Workshop on the Review of the Global Assessment, planned for Tues. 15th of May from 9:30am to 12:30 at the Ensor room in BELSPO. Attached below is a letter from the IPBES Secretariat for reference.

The main objectives of this meeting are to:

- Inform participants on the State-of-Play of the implementation of the IPBES Work Programme;

- Explain the outline and objective of the IPBES Global Assessment;

- Explain the timeline and some general principles related to this review, 

- Collect first comments on the Second Order Draft and Summary for Policy Makers (so that these can feed into the Belgian position and for a set of related, forthcoming IPBES meetings and workshops), and

- Discuss AOB that are related to the implementation of the Work Programme, including other ongoing Calls

A detailed agenda will be circulated prior to the meeting.

In order to have access to the documents for the meeting, you will need to register, by following these steps:
