Expression of Interest EXPRESSION OF INTEREST Provision of Telecommunication Services for the UN Campus in Bonn, Germany Issue Date: 27.01.2010 Close Date: 10.02.2010 16:00 hours (Bonn time) The United Nations Organizations in Bonn (UNBONN), which are represented by United Nations Volunteers (UNV), would like to invite qualified companies capable of providing different Telecommunication services (Voice Carrier Services, Internet Services, Mobile Carrier Services) for the UN Campus, which hosts 19 independent UN organizations, to submit their Expression of Interest (EOI) to provide the required services. Scope of Service The UN Campus accommodates 18 organizations in the ‘Langer Eugen’ building and one is temporally located at ‘Haus Carstanjen’ premises in Bonn. Sharing the same buildings gives opportunity to also share certain services while gaining efficiencies and saving costs. The shared Internet connection and the telephone exchanges are two systems managed and supported by the Common Services Unit of the UN Volunteers program on behalf of the wider UN community in Bonn. Both Internet and Voice Carrier Services are to be renewed based on changed technical requirements and usage profiles. With regard to the planned renewal and modernization of the telecommunications infrastructure in 2010 and the following years, UNBONN aims for a harmonization of the Voice and IP/Internet infrastructure. In the area of mobile communication, today various individual frame contracts are used by the different UN organizations in Bonn. UNBONN aims to consolidate this situation by contracting a new frame contract with a Mobile Service Provider. EOI Details Only companies with the relevant business profile and experience in supplying the above described services in Germany will be considered as qualified. Internet and Voice Carrier Services will be tendered as a package separately from the mobile carrier services to enable also partial bids for only one of the two packages. Interested companies should submit their EOI, as well as the following documents: · A brief presentation of your company, including company profile, · Documentation of relevant experience in this field, · A reference list of at least three customers in Germany whom we can contact (including names, addresses, email, telephone and fax number), 2/2 · Financial statements for the last three years, this should include current assets (including cash assets), inventories, and current liabilities. The Expression of Interest and accompanying documents must be in English language and is to be submitted no later than 10.02.2010, 16:00 hours (Bonn time) to the following address in a sealed envelope clearly marked with “EOI Telecommunication Services”: United Nations Volunteers (UNV) Common Services Unit Hermann-Ehlers-Str.10 53113 Bonn Email: [email protected] UNV reserves the right to accept or reject any Expression of Interest. Only qualified companies will be invited to participate in the possible subsequent tender exercise. Nothing in this EOI shall be taken to form a binding legal contract. EOI’s sent by e-mail or fax will not be accepted. The potential subsequent procurement will be governed by the rules and regulations of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which are available at www.unv.org/fileadmin/docdb/unv/pdf/UNDP_conditions_prof_services.pdf and can also be provided upon request. Thanking you in advance for your interest .

PREFACE Strengthening Enforcement and Compliance Is Essential for Fast Climate Protection Climate change increasingly threatens the health of our planet and the stability of our economies at the local, regional and global levels. Many countries are already sufering from climate impacts—severe water shortages, intense droughts and wildfres, and record-breaking foods, along with disappearances of indigenous species and outbreaks of invasive ones. Communities in coastal areas and islands must also brace for impacts of ocean warming and sea level rise, including shoreline erosion and the intensifcation of hurricanes and typhoons, which fall into a new category of “super storms”.

  • The UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development
    UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development The UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development The United Nations System Staff College Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development opened in Bonn in 2016, with the support of the Federal Government of Germany. It offers free and fee-based courses, training and learning events – available online and face-to-face – as well as diverse knowledge products. Its mission is to respond to the comprehensive learning, training, and knowledge management needs of UN staff and partners in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Alongside the Paris Agreement, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the 2030 Agenda is the most comprehensive blueprint to date for eliminating extreme poverty, reducing inequality, and protecting the planet. All offerings at the Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development are designed to address the paradigm shift and the adjustments in competency and skill sets that are needed to bring about transformative change. About Bonn Bonn is Germany’s centre for international cooperation and a leading sustainability cluster. It prides itself for being the host of numerous UN entities, federal ministries and agencies, scientific institutions, and non-governmental organisations working in the field of sustainable development. Bonn also stands for culture and nature: situated on the banks of the Rhine, it is a modern, lively, and cosmopolitan city with a history of over 2,000 years. The pattern of Beethoven’s hometown is set by its old and famous university, its former role as the seat of government (transferred to Berlin after reunification), its busy commercial life, and ongoing cultural offers at its museums, opera, theatres, and galleries.

  • Between Nowhere and Everywhere: the Challenges of Placing the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
    Between Nowhere and Everywhere: The Challenges of Placing the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Maud Borie Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia January 2016 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on conditions that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived from there must be in accordance with current UK copyright law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract Global Environmental Assessments (GEAs) have become influential processes in environmental governance, with the objective to gather policy-relevant knowledge on environmental issues for decision-makers. This thesis offers the first ethnographic account of the nascent Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) which, in contrast to earlier GEAs, aims to implement an inclusive model of expertise. Underlying this move are concerns regarding both the effectiveness of GEAs and their democratization. GEAs have also faced numerous criticisms for being dominated by the global North and for failing to consider the diversity of ways of making sense of global environmental change. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies and on the emerging literature on geographies of science, I view science and policy as being mutually entangled, rather than as two separate domains, and conceptualise GEAs as sites of co-production. It is important therefore to study how categories such as ‘science’, ‘policy’, ‘local’ and ‘global’ are produced and to investigate the practices and places through which knowledge is constructed as policy-relevant.
