Dear Partners and Observers,

We would like to thank all of you who had the opportunity to join us in Medan for the 3rd GBEP Bioenergy Week (25-29 May 2015). It was a very successful meeting and we would very much like to thank again the Government of Indonesia for their warm hospitality and excellent organization. A Summary of the event will be circulated soon.

We are also pleased to inform you that the "Scope of work for the production of an Implementation Guide on the use of the GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy" has been approved by the Steering Committee via electronic consultation. The Task Force on Sustainability is re-opened under the leadership of Sweden, as Chair.

The first meeting of the Task Force on Sustainability will take place in the occasion of the next GBEP meetings, to be organized during the week 9-13 November 2015 in Rome, at FAO Headquarters (exact dates to be confirmed).

Kind regards,

GBEP Secretariat

Subject: Scope of work on the Implementation Guide on the use of GBEP Indicators - Steering Committee approval


Dear Steering Committee members,

As discussed at the 17th Meeting of the GBEP Steering Committee (Rome, 14 November 2014), the Activity Group 2 of the Working Group on Capacity Building was invited to draft a "Scope of work for the production of an Implementation Guide on the use of the GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy".
As agreed, in order to start working on the Implementation Guide by the end of 2015, the Steering Committee is kindly asked to agree via email on the attached "Draft Scope of Work", which was developed by AG2 members. Please note that the core "Scope of Work" proposed is described on pages 1 and 2, while the Annex is simply a background document reflecting previous AG2 discussions.

By means of this e-mail, we would like to kindly invite you to express any strong concern you might have by Friday 22 May 2015.

Best regards,


GBEP Secretariat
