3 sessions during 7 to 25th September 2015

Dear Colleagues,

In accordance with Decision IPBES-3/1 part IV, IPBES now invites governments and prospective experts with relevant knowledge and/or experience to review and further develop the initial scoping for:

(a) thematic assessment on invasive alien species and their control (deliverable 3bii)

(b) thematic assessment of sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity and strengthening capacities and tools (deliverable 3biii)

This will be implemented through an e-conference (i.e. 3 sessions during 7 to 25th September 2015), allowing for a broad input into the development of the scoping documents, engaging as many experts as possible. Experts, practioners, decision makers and knowledge brokers interested to participate are requested to fill the online registration form available here (no specific deadline mentioned). Please refer to the below invitation letter for more details on the procedure. The resulting scoping reports will be considered by the Plenary at its fourth session 22-28 February 2016.

Please distribute this message to potentially interested colleagues in your network. I remain available would you need more information,

Best wishes,

Hilde Eggermont
