Notification: Call for nominations of fellows for the second global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services
Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested stakeholders,
The IPBES Plenary, in decision IPBES-11/1, approved the undertaking of a second global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The overall objective of the second IPBES global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services (referred to hereafter as “the second global assessment”) is to assess relevant knowledge that has become available since the publication in 2019 of The Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and to assess progress towards achieving the goals of sustainability and living in harmony with nature. The second global assessment will strengthen the science-policy interface on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people on a range of spatial scales, from the local to the global, by providing the knowledge and the policy support tools needed for informed decision-making. The second global assessment will be delivered in 2028.
Further to the call of nominations of experts for a second global assessment (EM/2025/04<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>, Governments and other relevant stakeholders are herewith invited to nominate candidates to participate in the IPBES fellowship programme for the second global assessment.
The IPBES fellowship programme, which is part of a larger capacity-building portfolio of activities, targets early-career individuals1 who wish to gain experience by participating in the work of IPBES. Selected fellows will participate in the preparation of the chapter of the assessment for which they are selected, and their contribution will be acknowledged as part of the citation for that chapter. Fellows will attend author meetings and receive training to gain an in-depth understanding of the IPBES assessment processes and the science-policy interface. Fellows will also be paired up with a mentor for the assessment period.
The assessment will be conducted in line with the procedures for IPBES deliverables set out in decision IPBES-3/3, annex I (available here<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>) and based on the scoping report for the assessment (available here<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>).
IPBES is seeking fellows who have experience in regional and global analyses relating to nature and nature’s contributions to people in terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine ecosystems. They should have expertise relevant to the global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services in one or more disciplines within natural science, social science or humanities. IPBES is, in particular, seeking fellows with an interdisciplinary background. IPBES is also looking for fellows on Indigenous and local knowledge.
Governments and relevant stakeholders are invited to include in their nominations candidates with diverse backgrounds and expertise, and ensure gender balance in their nominations.
All nominated candidates (nominees) need to be available to attend the relevant author meetings, training workshops and induction day for fellows, with the induction day and first author meeting tentatively scheduled for end of November 2025.
All Governments and relevant organizations or institutions are encouraged to submit nominations; nominating organizations or institutions are not required to have been admitted to the Plenary of IPBES as an observer. Please help us to disseminate this call for nominations of fellows widely.
Please follow the below procedure for nomination:
* Sharing the call of nomination: All Governments and relevant organizations or institutions are invited to disseminate this call.
* Completing the application form (candidates): Interested candidates are invited to complete the application form and attach their curriculum vitae through the dedicated web portal at https://www.ipbes.net/second-global-assessment/fellows-application<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…> (to access this page you will need to log in with your IPBES website log in credentials. Nominees not yet registered on the IPBES website will need to do so at https://ipbes.net/user/register<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>). Please note that the nomination form is in English only and applications should be submitted in English, as the assessment process will be conducted in English;

* After nomination: Nominators and nominees will receive confirmation via email once the nomination has been submitted by the nominator.
Interested early-career individuals wishing to be nominated by a Government are encouraged to contact their IPBES National Focal Point (https://www.ipbes.net/national-focal-points<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>) regarding any country specific processes or deadlines and are requested to fill out their application form by 28 March 2025.
Nominators (Governments or organizations) should submit the nominations of all nominees, which they would like to support, before 6 April 2025. Early nominations ahead of this deadline are encouraged. Fellows will be selected by the management committee of the second global assessment, which includes the co-chairs of the assessment and members of the IPBES Bureau and Multidisciplinary Expert Panel.
More information on the IPBES fellowship programme, including selection criteria and available support to selected fellows, can be found on the IPBES webpage: https://ipbes.net/ipbes-fellowship-programme<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>.
An online dialogue meeting will be organized to facilitate and strengthen engagement by Governments and stakeholders in the nomination of experts and fellows. The meeting will provide information regarding the required relevant expertise of nominees and the nomination process, and will also provide an opportunity for current and previous IPBES experts and fellows to share their experiences. The dialogue meeting is scheduled for 12 March 2025, 1 p.m. CET. More information will follow shortly.
I thank you in advance for your nominations and your continued support to IPBES.

<p>In the latest episode of <strong>Branching Out: the Forest Podcast</strong>, host Jose Bolaños (IUFRO HQ) and cohost <strong>Nilo Wijaya (IFSA)</strong> examine the intersection of physiology and genetics with <strong>Amanda de la Torre (Nothern Arizona University)</strong> and <strong>Santiago González-Martínez (INRAE)</strong>, Co-Coordinators of IUFRO's Division 2. From genetic diversity to groundbreaking technologies, the conversation revealed how science could shape the future of forests.</p><p> </p><p>Nilo, a forest policy student at the University of Gadjah Mada in Indonesia, brought some fresh perspectives. While Santiago shared his fascination with conifers, showcasing their remarkable adaptations to diverse environments, such as fire resistance of species in the Canary Islands, and Amanda reflected on her journey from studying Amazonian trees in Peru to exploring the genomic complexities of conifers like Douglas fir.</p><p> </p><p>The two Co-Coordinators emphasized the importance of collaboration within IUFRO's global network. "Genetic diversity is our insurance for an uncertain future," Santiago noted. Amanda encouraged young researchers to ask bold questions, underscoring the role of creativity in scientific discovery.</p><p> </p><p>From Gymnosperms to the transformative power of genomics, this episode offers a whole spectrum of tools for our forests' survival. <strong>We invite you to tune in to Branching Out: the forest podcast</strong>.

Journal of Forest Economics CfP -- Special Issue on Mining and the Forest
by Lucy Wiseman
Journal of Forest Economics<http://www.nowpublishers.com/jfe>
Call for papers: Special Issue on Mining and the Forest
The preoccupation with shrinking forests has existed for a long time. Today, deforestation and forest degradation are critical issues because forests are not only habitats for biodiversity but also act as aboveground and underground carbon sinks, influencing global weather patterns while providing livelihoods for many people, especially the poorest.
Meeting climate goals requires halting deforestation while implementing low-carbon technologies that rely on mineral ores. One challenge is that the necessary transition increases the pressure on the forests since many forest landscapes contain numerous ores. While other drivers, such as agriculture, often overshadow their contribution to global deforestation, mining activities trigger direct and indirect pressures on forest ecosystems. Mining fuels forest clearances and fosters population shifts: people may be forced to quit their land and relocate, and legal and illegal mining generates new employment opportunities. Moreover, a growing body of literature highlights the urgent need to restore forested landscapes impacted by mining activities worldwide.
In the urgent context of the fight against global warming and protection of the environment, an innovative concept is emerging, namely Forest-Smart Mining, implying mining that recognizes and understands the relationship between forests and other land uses while actively seeking to reduce the damage caused by the latter. Therefore, smart mining requires an understanding of forest ecology and communities, including ecosystem services. However, forests and mining are often considered competing resources due to optimal valuation and management challenges.
The special issue aims to attract cutting-edge research on how mining activities interact with forest preservation in developed and developing countries. It welcomes contributions that:
* Assess the impact of mining on forests and forest-dependent livelihoods.
* Explore the design and implementation of forest-smart mining policies.
* Address the challenges of restoring forest landscapes affected by mining.
The special issue is open to studies employing various methodologies, including economic analytical tools, qualitative and quantitative econometric research, simulation or economic modelling, spatial analysis, and country-specific and cross-country studies.
Submission guidelines
Deadline for submission: June 30, 2025. Manuscripts must adhere to the Journal of Forest Economics guidelines found on the Journal's website. Authors submit their manuscript through the Journal's electronic system https://jfe.manuscriptmanager.net/. When submitting your contribution to the special issue, please select the manuscript type "Special Issue on Mining and the Forest". The submitted manuscript will undergo the Journal's peer-review process.
