A call for written submissions on operating principles ran from 26 April-6 June 2023 in response to a request from the OEWG at its resumed first session (OEWG 1.2).
This call was complemented by a webinar on a set of draft operating principles for the forthcoming science-policy panel, to be considered at the group's second session (OEWG 2). During the webinar, the secretariat presented a background document analysing the operating principles of other science-policy panels, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), International Resource Panel (IRP) and Global Environment Outlook (GEO), and how these principles had been set out in the broader context of other rules, procedures and guidelines.
All written submissions on the operating principles of the panel are linked below, as received by the secretariat.
