Bd & ES science for a sustainable planet: the DIVERSITAS science plan for the decade 2011-20
• Context– Phase III– Evolving biodiversity science– Evolving landscape (IPBES, GEO BON, 2020 targets, etc)– ICSU visioning (D Chen) *Doct 6
• At this meeting *Doct 5– Finalise draft science plan (challenges, sub-challenges)– Discuss implementation (projects, partnerships)

IPBES: 3rd Round of negotiations
The Busan outcome
• (We) conclude… that an IPBES (intergovernmental science policy platform for biodiversity and ecosystem services) should be established to strengthen the science policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, long term human well being and sustainable development…
IPBES: starting in 2011!
UN General Assembly22 December 2010The UN General Assembly,
• Noting UNEP decision SS.XI/4, the Busan Outcome, the CBD COP 10 decision X-(L.25), and the decision adopted by the PX Commission of UNESCO in document 185 EX/43, requests UNEP, without prejudice to the final institutional arrangements of IPBES, and in consultation with all relevant organisations and bodies, in order to fully operationalize the Platform, to convene a plenary meeting providing for the full and effective participation of all Member States, in particular representatives from developing countries, to determine modalities and institutional arrangements for the Platform at the earliest opportunity.
• First Plenary of IPBES: October 2011
Scientific community very supportive of IPBES
Feb 2010: CBD-PreCOP10 (Nagoya); Science-policy dialog on IPBES with Japanese Vice-Minister of Environment; 300 participants;
April 2010: US consultation on IPBES (USNC DIVERSITAS);
October 2010: Side event on IPBES at CBD-COP10, Nagoya (DIVERSITAS-IHDP-ICSU);
March 2011: Perrings, Duraiappah, Larigauderie and Mooney: The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Science-Policy Interface, Science 4: 1139-1140
IPBES side event at CBD COP10 (DIVERSITAS, IHDP, ICSU, IUCN, UNEP)
DIVERSITAS and IPBES: items for discussion
• Scientific contribution: assemble a small team of international experts to provide input into the IPBES Programme of Work (lead: A Duraiappah)
• Strategic planning: Assemble a small team to articulate a science community strategy towards IPBES plenary meetings

GEOSS (2005)
A coordinated global network that:• gathers and shares information on biodiversity,
• provides tools for data integration and analysis, and
• contributes to improving environmental management and human well-being.
Biodiversity Observation
Network
A brief history• 2006 Oct: First International Workshop (Geneva, CH)
• DIVERSITAS, USA (NASA), and EU (E-BON) mandated as co-leads of GEO BON
• Jan 2008: GEO BON Steering Committee formed (Geneva)• Apr 2008: 2nd International workshop (Potsdam, Germany)

GEO BON & CBD
• Decision CBD-COP10 (Nagoya, Nov 2010)Recognizes the need to continue strengthening our ability to monitor biodiversity at all levels including … through participation in, and support to the GEO BON…
Requests the Executive Secretary to invite GEO BON, (…) to prepare an evaluation of existing observation capabilities relevant to the targets contained in the Strategic Plan for the period 2010-2020.
For more information on GEO BON:

• Regional or thematic participating BONs– Asia-Pacific Regional BON (AP-BON) – J-BON (Japan)– EBONE (Europe)
GEO BON & DIVERSITAS
• Science-Policy work: Representation of GEO BON at CBD and IPBES
− Decision X/7
• Support of two working groups of GEO BON:− Ecosystem services (H Mooney; met this past week)− Genetic diversity (T Yahara, D Faith)

Network
To conclude:
• 2010:– A year rich in events (new mechanisms, renewed
political committments)– Hope for a step change in the way biodiversity and
ecosystem services are understood and managed– DIVERSITAS has an important role to play in this
new landscape
