Subject: Input to the 2019 GSDR
Dear Colleagues,
We are writing to request your input to the 2019 Global Sustainable
Development Report (GSDR). The GSDR, mandated by the United Nations' Member
States in the outcome document of the 2012 Rio + 20 conference, is meant to
strengthen the science-policy interface and provide a strong evidence-based
instrument to support policymakers in promoting poverty eradication and
sustainable development.
The GSDR is being drafted by an independent group of scientists (IGS),
supported by a task team of six UN-system agencies. Profiles of the 15 IGS
members are found here:
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/globalsdreport/2019)
As part of its outreach efforts, the IGS is soliciting inputs from a diverse
group of scientific and non-scientific communities, from all over the world,
in the form of publications supported by short abstracts or descriptions of
case studies. Currently, we are requesting contributions in four major
areas:
(1) interactions among SDGs and their targets,
(2) transformation pathways towards sustainable development;
(3) looking beyond the SDGs (major issues identified by research which are
not explicitly taken into account in the SDGs), and
(4) the role of science for sustainable development. Contributions will be
acknowledged in the GSDR.
If you are interested in contributing to this important exercise, please
follow the below link to a questionnaire.

Dear Communications and Public Affairs Working Party Colleagues,
The 125th IUFRO Congress will soon start on 18 September in Freiburg, Germany. I look forward to seeing those of you who will be able to attend. The working party is conducting a session Connecting People to Forest Science: Innovative Communication Approaches for Delivering Science on 20 September at 1800. Five presentations will be provided followed by a panel discussion. Several posters from the working party will be delivered at the poster session. The working party is also participating in a sub-plenary session organized by the UNECE-FAO Forest Communicator's Network and IUFRO called Communicating with Einstein-about forest facts, feelings and fake news on 20 September 1330 to 1500.
I am attaching an agenda for the meeting that will take place on 20 September. I am also attaching a report that I provided the coordinator for our Information and Communication Working Group for reporting at our Division business meeting.
For those attending the Congress, we will have a working party social to immediately follow the "Connecting People"... session with location to be determined and announced at the end of the session at 1930 on September 20.
