The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES; www.ipbes.net) is an independent intergovernmental body dedicated to improving the use of science in decision making at all policy levels.
ESA is assisting the U.S. government in identifying fellows to support the IPBES expert group dedicated to scenarios and models of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The Fellowship Program is part of a larger capacity-building portfolio of activities, and targets early career experts who wish to gain experience by participating in the work of IPBES. The work would build on the IPBES methodological assessment of scenarios and models of biodiversity and ecosystem services approved by the IPBES Plenary in 2016, and aims to catalyze further development of scenarios and models by the broader scientific community for future IPBES work. Fellow nominees should ensure that they: -Are available to attend a one-week workshop tentatively scheduled in April 2019 -Can make a commitment of up to 15 percent of their time during the fellowship, and -Have secured sufficient funding to support their participation Learn More by visiting: http://esa.org/ipbes/call-for-nominations-of-fellows- development-of-scenarios-on-nature-and-its-contribution-to-people/
