Potential activities in the area of assessments • Regular multidisciplinary assessments at regional (including sub-regional) and global scales. • Thematic assessments on policy relevant issues, including emerging issues • Technical support and capacity building for national assessment activities • Developing common frameworks and tools for assessment • Catalogue of assessments • Produce and disseminate reports – but the assessment process also important!
Potential activities in the area of policy support • Overview of policy-relevant knowledge, tools and methodologies • Partnerships to develop priority tools and approaches • Promotion of effective tools through communication and capacity building • Policy-relevant (eg sector specific) knowledge syntheses
Potential capacity building activities • Maintain a list of CB needs • Specific workshops and training on assessment approaches • Increasing access to data, information and knowledge for use in assessment • Scholarships, fellowship programme, mentoring • Peer to peer exchange visits • Regional hubs supporting assessment and peer learning
Potential activities on knowledge generation • Identifying and communicating gaps in knowledge – including from assessments • Convening research and donor communities to agree on policy-relevant research priorities • Supporting peer learning and networks to strengthen generation of policy-relevant research
Current process on IPBES • Resolving various procedural elements • Rules of procedure • Other procedures • Preparations for the initial work programme of the platform • Capacity building needs • Scoping process • Overview of assessments • Conceptual framework • MEP bioregional structure
Getting involved • Contribute to the current intersessional process • Participate in IPBES-1 (21 to 26 Jan. 2013, Bonn Germany) • Future contribution to implementation of IPBES work programme – this will depend on thousands of scientists and policy makers!
