As we prepare our ESP&YESS delegation for the upcoming 12th IPBES Plenary in Manchester, we warmly invite you to a preparatory webinar designed to support youth participation. Whether you are new to IPBES work or an experienced delegate, this session will provide a valuable platform for exchange and for strengthening contributions to the international biodiversity and ecosystem services agenda.
The first part will include the overviews of IPBES officers, David González and Amarys Preuss, who will provide an introduction to the IPBES structure and how different stakeholders can contribute to IPBES work. The second half is tailored for young researchers and students, with Dr Carla Washbourne (ESP) and YESS members, Naomi Bi, and Nita Shashidharan sharing practical advice on navigating the plenary sessions and understanding key documents.
