National Focal Points,
Observers,
Stakeholders and
Friends,<br>
<br>
<strong>IPBES
Pollinators
Assessment Now
Available</strong><br>
<br>
I am very pleased to
inform you that all
chapters, and their
executive summaries,
of the IPBES thematic
<em>Assessment on
Pollinators,
Pollination and Food
Production</em> are
now available to
download on the IPBES
website at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ipbes.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=a96e897b5b&e=5b319fcb81"

An attractive,
laid-out version of
this document is also
being prepared and
will be made available
online soon. <br>
<br>
My sincere thanks go
to everyone who has
contributed to this
important first
thematic output –
especially the
Co-Chairs, authors and
our technical support
unit. The assessment
is a valuable global
resource, which is
already helping to
inform and shape
national action
through better,
science-led policy.<br>
<br>
You may have seen
that, earlier this
week, the French
Minister of
Environment, Energy
and the Sea, Ségolène
Royal, hosted a
high-level event on
pollination, in Paris,
at which the IPBES
Assessment was
highlighted as a key
reference for action
in support of
pollination services
across France (<a

100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #6DC6DD;font-weight:
normal;text-decoration:

<br>
Over the course of the
next week, major new
articles will be
published in both <em>Science</em>
and <em>Nature, </em>building
on the work of the
Assessment, and we
will also be hosting
an IPBES pollination
side-event in the
margins of the CBD
COP13 in Mexico, on
Tuesday, 6 December
2016, presenting key
finding and messages
from the Assessment,
with a focus on
informing national
action plans and
implementation.<br>
<br>
I would like to please
urge you to share the
report and its Summary
for Policymakers (SPM)
as widely as possible
with your networks,
institutions and
associates. We count
on your assistance to
help ensure its widest
possible reach and
greatest impact.<br>
<br>
Thank you again and
warm regards,</p>
