Have your say on IPBES

The “Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services” is a mechanism to further strengthen the science-policy interface on biodiversity and ecosystem services. It contributes to existing processes that ensure decisions are made on the basis of the best available scientific information on conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services. IPBES is proposed as a broadly similar mechanism to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

In collaboration with other partners, IUCN is conducting a survey to research the views of the scientific community and broader civil society on the need for IPBES, its function and form, including the participation of the civil society.
