Michel Loreau, Co-Chair of the IMoSEB Executive Committee, explained that several participants were concerned that discussions on the science-policy interface on Thursday had focused only on assessments, and encouraged attendees to discuss other options during plenary. |
Didier Babin, Executive Secretary of the IMoSEB Consultative Process. |
Stephan Schnierer, Southern Cross University, Australia, argued that a lot of decision-making occurs at the sub-national and local scales and that an IMoSEB can play a role in advocating for a structure to ensure that information reaches these levels. |

The working group on the objectives of an IMoSEB used a document submitted by the co-chairs of the IMoSEB consultation, and circulated at the beginning of the meeting, as a basis for discussion.
Dais for the working group on the science-policy interface, L-R: Chad Monfreda, IMoSEB Executive Secretariat; Didier Babin; and the working group Chair, Philippe Le Prestre, Laval University.
