Concluding with an invitation for institutions and governments to submit proposals for the institutional and physical hosts of the Secretariat, the 1st session of a plenary meeting on the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) considered a number of legal issues regarding its establishment. A key question discussed by delegates was whether UN/GA resolution 65/162, on the establishment of IPBES, actually established the platform. States may make submissions on the work programme until 15 December. Governments and institutions are invited to submit their proposals for hosting the platform to the Chair of the Bureau by 15 January 2012, for consideration at the 2nd session of the Plenary.
