EM/2020/18
Dear IPBES members, observers and stakeholders,
I am pleased to announce that IPBES will be organizing a webinar for
stakeholders on the draft scoping reports for the IPBES nexus and
transformative change assessments on 14 July 2020 and an indigenous and local
knowledge dialogue workshop on these drafts on 16 July 2020.
As you may have seen, the review of the draft scoping report for the nexus
assessment (thematic assessment of the interlinkages among biodiversity,
water, food and health in the context of climate change) is currently ongoing
between 5 June and 31 July 2020
([EM/2020/14](https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=cb8bc3dd4f&e=11deb04f71)).
The review of the draft scoping report of the transformative change
assessment (thematic assessment of the underlying causes of biodiversity
loss, determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the
2050 vision for biodiversity) will follow shortly: from 3 July to 28 August
2020. A virtual dialogue meeting for national focal points to support them in
reviewing the drafts will be held from 6 to 10 July 2020, as announced in
notification EM/2020/17.
In addition, all interested stakeholders are invited to participate in a
webinar, during which scoping experts will present the draft scoping reports
and discuss clarifications on the reports in response to questions from
participants. The webinar will be held on 14 July 2020, 15:00 – 16:45 CEST in
the context of IPBES' work on capacity-building and stakeholder engagement
(objectives 2 and 5 of the IPBES work programme up to 2030).
Furthermore, IPBES is organizing a virtual dialogue meeting on recognizing
and working with indigenous and local knowledge in the nexus and
transformative change assessments. The dialogue meeting will be held on 16
July 2020, 14.00 – 16.00 CEST in the context of the implementation of the
IPBES approach to recognizing and working with indigenous and local knowledge
adopted by the IPBES Plenary in decision IPBES-5/1. All interested experts on
indigenous and local knowelge and members of indigenous peoples and local
communities are invited to attend the virtual dialogue meeting and exchange
with the scoping experts.
Both the webinar and the virtual dialogue meeting will be held in English. To
