Summary: the FOD draft
• The IPBES Conceptual Framework
• Broad set of values of nature and its benefits to people
• Efforts to integrate natural and human sciences and knowledge systems
• Drivers and their links with human wellbeing
• Efforts to include local & practical knowledge
• Diverse data, information and knowledge sources
• Options for policy and practice, and for the future
Main challenges
• Data and knowledge gaps
• Harmonization of data
• Gathering ILK
• Enormous scope of the assessment
Internal communication
• CLA monthly calls
• Every two months calls with ECA
management committee
• Internal calls/meetings within Chapters
(e.g. Swedish EPA funds a writing
workshop for LAs of Chapter 4)
• Regular communication among authors
based on needs
External communication
• At the IPBES plenary
• Regular contacts with stakeholders, in
particular data holders
• At stakeholder meetings in different sub-
regions
• Presentations at conferences and meetings,
e.g. at European Environment Agency
