Periodic Reporting for period 2 - EU4IPBES (The European Union's Support to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES))

Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The Project 101119387 — EU4IPBES provides significant funding for the implementation of the work programme up to 2030 of IPBES, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. IPBES is an independent intergovernmental body comprising close to 150 Member States. Established in 2012, IPBES provides policymakers with objective scientific assessments about the state of knowledge regarding nature and its contributions to people, as well as options for actions to protect and to sustainably use these vital natural assets. IPBES is, among others, informing the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Scientists and knowledge holders from all parts of the world contribute to the work of IPBES on a voluntary basis. They are nominated by a government or an organisation and selected by the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel of IPBES. Peer review forms a key component of the work of IPBES to ensure that a range of views is reflected and that the work is completed to the highest scientific standards.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

During the reporting period, IPBES implemented its work programme as approved by the IPBES Plenary, with specific deliverables grouped under the following objectives:

Objective 1: Assessing knowledge
Advanced work toward the production of the assessment of the impact and dependence of business on biodiversity (2026).
Advanced work toward the production of the methodological assessment on monitoring biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people (monitoring assessment) (expected 2027).
Advanced work toward the production of the spatial planning and connectivity assessment (expected 2027).
Advanced work toward the production of the Second Global Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (expected 2028).

Objective 2: Building capacity
Enhanced youth participation including through training and fellowships.
Strengthened national and regional capacities.

Objective 3: Strengthening the knowledge foundations
Implementation of the approach to working with Indigenous and local knowledge systems

Objective 4: Supporting policy
Catalysation of the development of new scenarios and models of biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services
Provision of support to a range of institutions to familiarise decision makers with the key findings of IPBES assessments.

Objective 5: Communicating and engaging
Dedicated media campaigns to inform about outcomes of recently released IPBES Assessments.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

The work of IPBES advances science-policy by, amongst others, providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the research, literature, data and evidence from a wide range of sources, disciplines and knowledge systems, offering decision-makers at all levels a synthesis by the world’s leading experts of the best-available knowledge, most likely scenarios and options for policy and action informed by these assessments. IPBES also continues to lead the evolution of science-policy best practice through, amongst others, pioneering work on the inclusion of Indigenous and local knowledge – which has inspired other organizations to explore similar paths. Ongoing IPBES achievements in innovation extend to all aspects of the IPBES work programme – with, for instance, capacity-building activities to support member States and other decision makers in contributing to and making use of the work of IPBES; knowledge and data work to more comprehensively identify and incorporate diverse sources of evidence and data in IPBES assessments; the creation, maintenance and promotion of a first-of-its-kind indicative impact tracking database; three-phase outreach and dissemination campaigns for all IPBES report launches; and many more.
