The European Union's Support to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

Project description

Support to balance biodiversity goals

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is an independent intergovernmental body. Its aim is to strengthen the science-policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, long-term human well-being and sustainable development. In this context, the EU-funded EU4IPBES project will support the EU grant to the IPBES trust fund, which supports IPBES across all its functions and structures, including its governing bodies, its secretariat, and its work programme. It will address the further development of work on capacity and knowledge foundations, the communication and evaluation of the Platform's activities, deliverables and findings, including policy tools.

Objective

The overall objective for this coordination and support action is to support the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the implementation of its work programme aiming to strengthen the science-policy
interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, long-term human wellbeing
and sustainable development. With the requested EU grant to the IPBES trust fund, the EU would support IPBES across all its
functions and structures, including its governing bodies, its secretariat, and its work programme, addressing the further
development of work on capacity and knowledge foundations, the communication and evaluation of the Platform's activities,
deliverables and findings, including policy tools, and the synthesis, review, assess and critical evaluation of relevant information and
knowledge on biodiversity and ecosystem services, generated by governments, academia, scientific organizations, nongovernmental
organizations and indigenous and local communities from the EU and worldwide.
