30 April 2018
Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested stakeholders,
In the context of the IPBES Fellowship Programme, and in parallel to the
call for nominations of experts sent on 23 April 2018 (EM/2018/06
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=f5d2db86b2&e=bb8e5c7ca5>),
we would like to invite governments, relevant institutions and
organizations to nominate fellows for:
1. the *methodological assessment regarding the diverse
conceptualization of multiple values of nature and its benefits*,
hereafter referred to as “the assessment on values” (Based on a scoping
document set out in annex VI to decision IPBES-4/1
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=56cdddbeec&e=bb8e5c7ca5>);
and
2. the *thematic assessment of the sustainable use of wild species*
(Based on a scoping document set out in annex IV to decision IPBES-5/1
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=e46ed8d7b2&e=bb8e5c7ca5>)
.
Selected fellows will take part as authors in the chapter of the assessment
they are selected for. They will attend author meetings and receive
training to gain an in-depth understanding of the IPBES assessment
processes. They will also be paired up with a mentor for the assessment
period.
The IPBES Fellowship Programme targets early career experts who wish to
gain experience by participating in the work of IPBES. Expertise of
candidates should match the needs of one of the two assessments, and be in
line with the themes and skills required in the chapters of their
respective scoping documents (please see footnotes 1 and 2 to access the
scoping documents).
Nominated fellows should have expertise in one or more disciplines of
natural science, social science or the humanities, be indigenous and local
knowledge experts or have expertise in indigenous and local knowledge
systems, or be policy experts and practitioners. All nominees should have
experience in working within interdisciplinary, international and/or global
contexts.
We are particularly looking for fellows with a scientific and/or practical
background in: ecological and environmental economics, environmental and
sustainability sciences, environmental ethics and philosophy, environmental
sociology and anthropology, environmental psychology and behavioral
science, environmental history, science and technology studies, political
ecology, human geography, human ecology, cultural ecology, environmental
policy and law, political sciences and trade, and from other fields related
to integrative approaches to human-nature relations and linking knowledge
to policy and practice.
Governments and organizations are invited to nominate women as well as men
with a diversity of disciplinary backgrounds in order to ensure a balanced
team of fellows.
Please follow this procedure to nominate fellows:
1. Nominees are invited to fill out the application form and attach
their curriculum vitae through the dedicated web portal
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=0c6c2c91a7&e=bb8e5c7ca5>
2. The nominating government or organization (Nominator) indicated by
the Nominee will receive an email with a link to the nomination form and
