The third and final intergovernmental and multi-stakeholder meeting on IPBES was held at the Busan Exhibition and Conference Center, Busan, Republic of Korea, from 7-11 June 2010.

After five days of negotiations delegates adopted the Busan Outcome document which sets the path for establishing an IPBES. Chair Chan-woo, in his closing remarks, emphasized the historic nature of this moment for Busan, Republic of Korea and the International Year of Biodiversity. Hailing the participants as "heroes of the moment" he gavelled the meeting to a close at 10:51pm on 11 June 2010.

The UNEP Secretariat is grateful for the support of the Informal Consultative Group in the preparation of the third IPBES meeting. They have provided strategic guidance and valuable comments on the meeting's documents. The list of its members is accessible here.
