Experts are sought from a variety of fields including academia, business and industry, government and civil society, and from a variety of disciplines including accounting, climatology, ecology, economics, finance, gender studies, hydrology, law, materials design and engineering, public health, risk assessment and trade. Information on the report, which was approved by resolution "IPBES 9/1," can be found here.
