• The Philippines chief negotiator, Yeb Sano, opened the UN climate talks with an impassioned plea for urgent action, and announcing a hunger strike in solidarity for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. (06:20, 09:20)

• In Doha, we asked “If not us then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where? It may have fell on deaf ears. But here in Warsaw, we may very well ask these same forthright questions. “If not us, then who? If not now, then when? If not here in Warsaw, where? What my country is going through as a result of this extreme climate event is madness. The climate crisis is madness. We can stop this madness. Right here in Warsaw.

Objectives and Deliverables of IPBES Work programme for the period 2014–2018 (draft)

Objective 1: Strengthen the capacity and knowledge foundations of the science-policy interface to implement key functions of the Platform

　

Priority capacity-building needs to implement the Platform’s work programme are matched with resources through catalysing financial and in-kind supportCapacities needed to implement the Platform work programme are developed with support provided by network on capacity buildingProcedures and approaches for working with indigenous and local knowledge systemsPriority knowledge and data needs for policymaking are addressed through catalysing efforts to generate new knowledge and networking

Objective 2: Strengthen the science-policy interface on biodiversity, ecosystem services at and across subregional, regional and global levels

　Guide on production and integration of assessments from and across all scalesRegional/subregional assessments on biodiversity and ecosystem servicesGlobal assessment on biodiversity and ecosystem services

Objective 3: Strengthen the science-policy interface with regard to thematic and methodological issues

　

A fast-track thematic assessment on pollination and food productionOne thematic assessment on land degradation and restoration and/or one thematic assessment on invasive alien speciesPolicy support tools and methodologies for scenario analysis and modelling of biodiversity and ecosystem services based on a fast-track assessment and a guidePolicy support tools and methodologies regarding value, valuation and accounting of biodiversity and ecosystem services based on a fast-track assessment and a guide

Objective 4: Communicate and evaluate Platform activities, deliverables and findings

　

Catalogue of relevant assessmentsCatalogue of policy support tools and methodologiesSet of communication, outreach and engagement strategies, products and processesReviews of the effectiveness of guidance, procedures, methods and approaches to inform future development of the Platform
