EM/2018/31
Call for nomination of fellows for the development of scenarios on nature and its
contributions to people, by 15 January 2019
Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested stakeholders,
I have the pleasure to invite nominations from Governments, relevant institutions and
organizations for early career fellows, in the context of the IPBES Fellowship Programme,
to support the IPBES expert group dedicated to scenarios and models of biodiversity and
ecosystem services.
The IPBES Fellowship Programme 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 (please see
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=0591dff7c3&e=0d0273cce4>
here for more information on IPBES capacity-building activities).
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 (please see
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=889ce3ef1e&e=0d0273cce4>
here), and aims to catalyse further development of scenarios and models by the broader
scientific community for future IPBES work (decision IPBES-5/1).
The IPBES expert group on scenarios and models for biodiversity and ecosystem services has
held several consultations over the course of 2017-18 to develop a new set of positive
scenarios on the future of nature and its contributions to people. This process brings
together a wide range of stakeholders at multiple scales, including representatives of the
scientific community, international institutions, governments, the private sector,
indigenous peoples and local communities, and non-governmental organisations. These
stakeholders are invited to discuss alternative visions for the future of nature and its
contributions to people, as well as possible pathways for these visions. The expert group
will analyse these inputs in an iterative manner and at multiple scales, using a wide
array of knowledge and evidence, from quantitative modelling to indigenous and local
knowledge.
The selected fellows will support the expert group on scenarios and models in this
consultative process and in producing reports and scientific papers. Fellows will be given
the opportunity to attend workshops, starting with the stakeholder consultation workshop
scheduled in April 2019, and, depending on the capacity building programme for 2019, may
receive training on the IPBES assessment processes. This fellowship will initially be
until the end of 2019, with the possibility of an extension subject to the outcomes of the
seventh session of the IPBES Plenary (#IPBES7).
For an effective implementation of these deliverables, it is critical to include fellows
from various natural and social scientific disciplines and from different knowledge
systems, including indigenous and local knowledge systems, as well as policy and technical
experts and practitioners. Nominations from a broad range of organizations/institutions
are thus encouraged.
More information on the nomination process is included in the annex below.
Interested candidates (nominees) are requested to fill out their application form no later
than 15 January 2019. Nominators (Governments/organisations/institutions) should submit
nominations by 22 January 2019 at the latest. Earlier nominations are strongly encouraged.
I thank you in advance for your nominations and your continued support to IPBES.
Yours sincerely,

All candidates (nominees) should ensure that they:
* Are available on the indicated meeting dates provided below;

Support
This is an unpaid fellowship scheme. Selected fellows are expected to work pro bono, as
all other IPBES experts, with all work provided in fulfilment of the assigned tasks
considered as in-kind contribution and not remunerated. Expenses for attending one meeting
each year will be covered for selected fellows from developing countries and countries
with economies in transition in accordance with UN rules. Selected fellows from developed
countries are expected to cover their own expenses and are encouraged to seek support from
their home institutions.
