Dear IPBES National Focal Points, Observers, Stakeholders and Friends,

*IPBES Pollinators Assessment Now Available*

I am very pleased to inform you that all chapters, and their executive 
summaries, of the IPBES thematic /Assessment on Pollinators, Pollination 
and Food Production/ are now available to download on the IPBES website 
at https://goo.gl/QKpaZ4 
<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.

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.

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 (https://goo.gl/RseqWe

Over the course of the next week, major new articles will be published 
in both /Science/ and /Nature, /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.

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.

Thank you again and warm regards,
