Summary
IPBES-5 delegates met in two contact groups throughout the day and in the evening. A short plenary convened in the afternoon to review progress. The budget group met throughout the day.
Contact Group I considered: IPBES review; development of the second work programme; and indigenous knowledge systems.
Contact Group II discussed: the scoping report for an assessment on the sustainable use of wild biodiversity; capacity building; and policy support tools and methodologies.
