摘要：IPBES requires enhanced contributions from the social sciences and humanities in order tomeet its mandate and influence policy. However, achieving this has so far proved challenging, notably in the form of a shortage in nominations of experts from these fields. TheSocial Sciences and Humanities Network (the SSH Network) has been established in aneffort to improve this situation. In this short communication, we present challenges identified by the network that hinders increased engagement from scholars from the socialsciences and humanities, and strategies developed to overcome them. Among otherinitiatives, the SSH Network will function as a meeting place for scholars from the socialsciences and humanities engaged in IPBES, interested in IPBES, or having IPBES as a studyobject.
