In the spirit of inclusion and diversity, please consider reviewing how IPBES describes methods for assessing how values and valuation link people, nature and decision making.
The Ecosystem Services Partnership is pleased to announce a global series of workshops to mobilize the global expert community in contributing reviews for the second order draft of the IPBES assessment on values of Nature.
This series of workshops is spread through the global time zones and will be hosted by regional ESP representatives, but open to anybody interested in reviewing the assessment.
We are explicitly looking for expertise from members of governments, local communities and civil society who have practical, technical and/or academic knowledge.
