Dear ESP Colleagues,
Our thematic working group No 18 on governance and institutional aspects looks back on more than a decade of dedicated activities to strengthen a socio-political focus on ecosystem services provision and coordination. As a core of our activities, we regularly organise thematic sessions at ESP Europe and ESP World conferences, have successfully edited three special issues on governance of ecosystem services in the journal Ecosystem Services, and working group members engaged in various joint projects.
However, by now the working group faces the challenges of lacking active and engaged members and fresh ideas. Therefore, we believe it is a good moment to put our heads together and to reflect on past activities, the goals and objectives of our TWG18 and revise and adjust them to recent developments and future needs.
Therefore, we would like to invite you to join us in a strategic reflection and brainstorming workshop about the envisioned future TWG18 activities and impacts on November 13-14 in Brussels, Belgium.
