The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES): getting involved
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline possibilities for deeper involvement of the scientific community in the IPBES process and draw attention to upcoming reviews in 2017, which can play an important role in both conducting assessments and in the peer-review process.

Abstract: The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) held its 5th plenary session in Bonn during March 2017. After last year’s pollinator assessment, the biodiversity assessments currently being undertaken are shortly to be available for peer review. The scientific community can play an important role in both conducting assessments and in the peer-review process. Independent scientists can contribute to ensure that these assessments are comprehensive with respect to the current state and future trends of biodiversity and the ecosystem services. We outline possibilities for deeper involvement of the scientific community in the IPBES process and draw attention to upcoming reviews in 2017.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad methodological steps for doing so, and argue that transformative practices aiming at sustainable futures would benefit from embracing such diversity, which require recognizing and addressing power relationships across stakeholder groups that hold different values on human nature-relations and NCP.

The intergovernmental platform for biodiversity and ecosystem services (IPBES) – a role for heritage?
TL;DR: In this article, heritage is not specifically mentioned in the conceptual framework, but it is by implication, and several of the papers dealing with elements of the programme of work for IPBES, as well as the first Assessment (accepted by the Platform at its meeting in 2016), have explicit mention of heritage and heritage activities.
