IPBES Call for nominations of Fellows!

The Intergovernmental science-policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services  (IPBES) Fellowship Programme, which is part of a larger capacity-building portfolio of activities, targets early career experts who wish to gain experience by participating in the work of IPBES. Governments and organizations are invited to nominate experts from a diversity of disciplinary backgrounds and gender, in order to ensure a balanced team of fellows.

Nominated fellows should have expertise related to the themes and skills required for the chapters of the assessment as set out in its scoping document. They should be experts on invasive alien species within one or more of the following disciplines:

• Natural sciences, social sciences or the humanities;
• Be indigenous and local knowledge experts or have expertise in indigenous and local knowledge systems;
• Be policy experts and practitioners.
