Networks

The Platform encourages the self-organization of an inclusive, open-ended network of stakeholders representing their diversity, working primarily on a virtual basis.

Collaboration between the Platform and the network is guided by the stakeholder engagement strategy. You can access the strategy within the annex to decision IPBES-3/4: Communication, stakeholder engagement and strategic partnerships here.

Presently, two networks are active: 

• Open-Ended Network of IPBES Stakeholders (ONet) 
• International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IIFBES) 

These networks co-lead the preparations for the IPBES Stakeholder Day(s), as well as facilitating the event with inputs from the secretariat.
