The IPBES secretariat would like to thank those Governments who submitted their proposals to nominate experts to the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel. To date, the secretariat has received 35 proposals, including 10 from African States, 3 from Asia-Pacific States, 4 from Eastern European States, 5 from Latin American and Caribbean States, and 13 from Western European and Other States. The list of nominations received is available here.
We wish to inform you that, given the limited number of proposals received for some of the regions to date, the deadline for nominations has been extended to 2 February 2018. The online nomination form is available here. Information about the nomination and selection process for members of the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel is available in the guidance document (Pdf 344 KB).
We look forward to receiving additional nominations from IPBES Members for the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel by 2 February 2018.
