Scientists from all parts of the world contribute to the work of IPBES on a 
voluntary basis. They are nominated by their government or an organisation, 
and selected by the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel (MEP) of IPBES. Peer 
review forms a key component of the work of IPBES to ensure that a range 
of views is reflected in its work, and that the work is complete to the highest 
scientific standards.
