The Review Panel will be co-chaired by Peter Bridgewater and Marina Rosales.
Following its selection as the Review coordinator in March, ICSU has now begun the process of reviewing the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). The review will be led by an independent 10-member panel selected by the IPBES members states.
The review will examine the effectiveness of IPBES as a science-policy interface, in particular, reviewing the implementation of the four functions:
The review will also look at the functioning of the secretariat, the effectiveness of stakeholder engagement and partnerships, and institutional and financial arrangements. The review will capture lessons learnt from the initial work programme of IPBES – created in 2012 – and provide future-oriented recommendations.
The panel will prepare surveys, conduct interviews and organize its work with a view to assembling a draft review report by October 2018.
