This booklet was developed as part of an advisory assistance project by the German Institute for Biodiversity Network (ibn) as part of a capacity building project by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation and the German Environmental Agency through funds from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection. It is an introduction to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) for anybody who is interested in the structure, work and products of this platform. As IPBES is an active body and working permanently, any overview of products and ongoing activities can only reflect the status quo at a given point in time. This second edition of the booklet reports on the status of mid-2022, after the 9th plenary session of IPBES.

IPBES – an introduction for stakeholders
What is IPBES?
Established in 2012, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is an intergovernmental body that assesses the state of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The objective of IPBES is to strengthen the science-policy interface and thereby support long-term human well-being, sustainable development, and biodiversity conservation. In other words, IPBES provides a scientific basis for global environmental decision making. It plays a similar role for global biodiversity-related multilateral agreements as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the UN Climate Framework Convention. IPBES relies on the work of scientists and experts from different disciplines, including natural sciences and social sciences. Its reports compile as much knowledge as possible on a given topic. In its assessments, IPBES utilizes different knowledge systems, including scientific and indigenous and local knowledge, peer reviewed literature, grey literature or oral tradition.
How is IPBES organized?
Plenary
The Plenary is the main decision-making body of IPBES. As IPBES is an intergovernmental body, its Plenary consists of the representatives of member states (139 as of August 2022). The Plenary works by consensus in matters of substance. Disagreements in such matters get discussed until the Plenary can find a compromise that no member state will oppose. Occasional voting is only foreseen in matters of procedure (e.g., in choosing between several offers to host the secretariat in the founding meeting in 2012).
The Plenary has several responsibilities:
it elects the officers for the bodies of IPBES, e.g., for the Bureau and the MEP (see below);
it decides on the work program;
it decides on the rules of procedure;
it allocates the money from the trust fund to the different tasks;
it approves the products of IPBES before they get officially published.
The IPBES Plenary has met annually since 2012. Where the meetings take place is also decided by the Plenary. States can offer to host a meeting and the Plenary can accept such offers. If no offer is made, the Plenary takes place at the seat of the secretariat in Bonn, Germany.
