We are delighted to announce that the BES-Net web-portal will be formally launched during the thirteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 13), on 9 December 2016 at 13:15 in Cancun, Mexico. More detail to come!

In the meantime, we are inviting all our network members to register on the BES-Net web-portal, to become an active member of the global BES-Net community that counts 85 organisations working in the field of biodiversity and ecosystem services and more than 90 international experts standing ready to respond to questions from users.
