Subject: Participation at the Global Intergovernmental and Multi-stakeholder Consultation
Dear MGFC representatives,
UNEP Division of Early Warning is organizing the Global Intergovernmental and Multi-stakeholder Consultation on the sixth Global Environment Outlook report (GEO-6), to be held by UNEP from 21 to 23 October 2014, in Berlin, Germany.
The GEO assessment is a core UNEP activity aimed at keeping the global environment under review; to date five assessments have been published on various time scales (1997,1999, 2002 and 2007 and 2012). In accordance with Resolution UNEP/EA.1/L.6, UNEP is requested to “undertake the preparation of the sixth Global Environment Outlook (GEO-6), supported by UNEP Live, with the scope, objectives and procedures of GEO-6 to be defined by a transparent global intergovernmental and multi-stakeholder consultation’.
The aim of the global consultation is to agree the objectives, scope and processes for GEO-6, which will culminate in the production of the GEO-6 assessment report and a Summary for Policy Makers. Invitations to the global consultation are being extended to all Governments, relevant intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations and the scientific community in order to strengthen the evidence base, policy relevance and ultimately the impact of the assessment. Participants at the global consultation should be at the highest possible policy and/or science advisory level.
Nominees are expected to have a thorough understanding of environmental and developmental challenges and priorities as well as work experience in the environmental sciences, economics or policy fields. They will also need to have an appropriate level of English to be able to effectively communicate during the consultation, as no interpretation will be provided.
In this regard we kindly request you to nominate 2 representatives from each Major Group to participate in this meeting. The final selection will take into account your nominees, but we cannot confirm that they will be automatically selected. Based on the actual budget only one representatives per Major Group will be financed giving priority to Organisations based in developing countries. Formal registration will follow thereafter and an information note concerning practical arrangements, along with other official documents of the meeting, will be distributed under separate cover once available.
