Dear Partners and Observers,

We are pleased to update you on the forthcoming events and activities of the GBEP Partnership.

As agreed during the GBEP annual meetings in November 2016, we are organizing the following events:


-       Activity Group 6 event at the World Water Week 2017. The event "Bioenergy, water and SDG implementation: experiences and linkages", is organized in collaboration with Chalmers University and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), and will take place in Stockholm (Sweden) on 31 August 2017 from 9.00 am to 10.30 am. Please find attached the provisional agenda and concept note. Your inputs on the agenda are very much welcomed by 19 May 2017.



-       Workshop "Linkages between Sustainable Development Goals and GBEP Sustainability Indicators". This event will be held in Bonn (Germany), on 3-4 July 2017, kindly hosted at and co-organized by the German Development Institute (DEI). The Secretariat will circulate shortly an agenda of this workshop: we warmly invite you to save the date in your calendars and we look forward to welcoming you at that time.

Finally, please find attached the GBEP Report to the G7 Summit 2017 (Taormina, Italy) for your information and convenience. This Report has been developed - in track change for your convenience - updating the GBEP Report submitted to the last G20 Summit (Hangzhou, China). Your feedback is welcome by no later than 18 May 2017, in order to allow the Secretariat to submit it to Italy as G7 Presidency, for Leaders consideration during the Summit discussions.

Kind regards,

GBEP Secretariat
