IPBES

On Friday, IPBES-1 met in a morning plenary session to address the election of the chair of IPBES, and to discuss institutional arrangements as well as the financial and budgetary arrangements. The plenary also elected the 25 members of the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel (MEP), following nomination by the five UN regions.

In the afternoon and into the evening, the contact groups on the rules of procedure and on the initial work programme resumed their work. The open-ended informal group on an initial budget for IPBES met in the evening.

Plenary resumed in the late evening to further address the election of the Chair. After a two-hour break to allow for regional consultations, no agreement was reached.
