Call for nominations of experts and fellows for the "Spatial Planning Assessment"
IPBES is planning a methodological assessment on the topic of integrated spatial planning (Spacial Planning Assessment), which will also take biodiversity and ecological connectivity into account. Experts and junior staff from science and practice can be nominated for this until the end of the year.
The Spatial Planning Assessment aims to evaluate the role of spatial planning in the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of ecosystems. It examines how spatial planning and land-use strategies influence biodiversity and how they can be used to effectively conserve, restore and sustainably use nature and its contributions to people.
IPBES is looking for experts and junior staff from science and practice with expertise in the following areas: geography, ecology, conservation biology, spatial planning, urban planning, architecture. Knowledge of the application of spatial planning methods and related planning and management approaches in relation to biodiversity and the contribution of nature to people, as well as methods for promoting participatory approaches, is important.
Please contact us for more information before completing the documents. Interested parties are requested to submit their application by 10 January 2025. To access this page, you must log in with your IPBES credentials or register first. A dialogue meeting for interested parties is expected to take place in the first week of November.
The nominating government, organisation or institution indicated in the application will receive an email with a link to the nomination form and will be asked to confirm and submit the nomination in the web portal by 24 January 2025. Early nominations before the deadline is reached are encouraged. Nominators and candidates will receive a confirmation email once the nomination has been duly submitted.
