Meeting ID: 978 3953 8237, Passcode: 307597
Why? The purpose of these daily informal meetings is to offer a daily space for discussion among ONet members and all stakeholders who are accredited observers to the Plenary.
More specifically, this means:
- Informal discussion among stakeholders (mainly IPBES accredited observers) about IPBES 8th Plenary meetings.
- Coordination, if required, of ONet members’ comments on and inputs into IPBES 8th Plenary process; coordination with IIFBES’ contributions.
- Preparation of the ONet’s closing statement on 24th June.
- Preparation of ONet’s activities for the intersessional period (between #IPBES8 and #IPBES9)
Who? All ONet members are warmly invited to join, as are any IPBES stakeholders who are observers at the plenary.
If possible, attending on the 22nd June would be very helpful to provide your input on the ONet closing statement.
