PBES NL is looking for experts to review the IPBES Monitoring Assessment

IPBES - the "biodiversity IPCC" and leading global authority on biodiversity, and nature’s contributions to people - needs your expertise to review the Monitoring Assessment, which will guide implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

What we're asking
Review any portion—a full chapter, section, or even specific paragraphs. All contributions matter.
Review period: Now – 7 January 2026 23.59 pm (CET)
How to start? On our website we have instructions for getting started and review guidelines.
PBES NL is also hosting a webinar on IPBES and their reviews on Monday December 1st 13.00-14.00. Register for this webinar.

Why this matters
This assessment analyzes monitoring requirements for headline indicators under the Global Biodiversity Framework, evaluates emerging technologies (eDNA, AI, remote sensing), addresses data gaps and biases, and integrates Indigenous and local knowledge systems. See our website for an overview of the content of the assessment chapters.
This assessment will be presented at IPBES 13 in 2027 and will inform how nations monitor progress toward 2030 biodiversity targets. Your input directly shapes global policy.
