IPBES online dialogue workshop to increase synergies and collaboration

IPBES is inviting its members, observers and other interested stakeholder to an online dialogue workshop with national and (sub)regional platforms and networks engaging with the organisation. The dialogue will be held on 23 June 2023 from 13:00 to 15:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST), with the aim of exploring efforts to increase synergies and collaboration in supporting the implementation of the IPBES rolling work programme up to 2030 and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

As part of its efforts to strengthen national and regional capacities, under objective 2 (c) of its current work programme, IPBES is working to encourage the establishment and development of national and (sub)regional science-policy platforms and networks engaging in and supporting its work. IPBES convenes regular dialogues to bring together national and (sub)regional platforms and networks engaging with, and contributing to, the work of IPBES and those interested in establishing a new platform and organizations and institutions that could support such efforts.

To build on the momentum generated by previous dialogues, national and (sub)regional platforms and networks engaging with IPBES, the national focal points of IPBES and of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), other government representatives, observers and stakeholders interested in the establishment of national and (sub)regional platforms, networks and assessments, as well as organizations and institutions that could support such efforts are invited to participate in the online dialogue workshop to share knowledge and to explore efforts to increase synergies and collaboration in supporting the implementation of the IPBES rolling work programme up to 2030 and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

You are invited to register for the online dialogue through here by 15 June 2023. The draft agenda for the meeting will be made available on the IPBES website here.

For any questions concerning the online dialogue workshop or the work of IPBES on national and (sub)regional science-policy platforms and networks, please contact the technical support unit on capacity-building at: tsu.capacitybuilding@ipbes.net
