The International Science Council (ISC), the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) and the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) together invite nominations for reviewers of the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR).

The reviewers must be nominated by a member organization of the ISC, IAP and/or WFEO and they should be active in relevant research, with an emphasis on trans‐disciplinary approaches and policy expertise. They should also have knowledge of international/UN processes. Reviews should be submitted in English. The reviewers will act in a personal capacity.

UNDESA anticipates that the review period will be 27 February – 27 March 2019. A template for  comments will be provided. Reviewers will be asked to ensure that the approximately 100‐page GSDR:

As the process is aimed at achieving a balance of perspectives and expertise, we would like to encourage our Members to submit nominations taking into account age, gender and geographical balance. More than one nomination can be submitted.
