Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested stakeholders,

I am very happy to announce that the Government of the Republic of Namibia has formally joined IPBES as its 140th member.

The name of the designated IPBES national focal point for Namibia has been reflected on the IPBES website.

I know that you will join me in warmly welcoming Namibia to the growing IPBES family.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Anne Larigauderie | Executive Secretary
