How will the information you provide be used?

The current team of nominated and approved experts for the global assessment is composed of chairs, coordinating lead authors (CLAs); Lead Authors (LAs), and Expert Reviewers. However, it is important for the assessment to identify additional Contributing Authors (CAs) who can provide, usually limited, written text or textboxes on specific topics. The information collected in this part of the survey will be used to consider possible additional Contributing Authors. This information will not be shared beyond IPBES.
