IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services)

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is an international organization that connects scientists and policymakers to protect the world’s biodiversity and ecosystem services. Established in 2012, it assesses and synthesizes scientific knowledge to inform decision-making on environmental issues. IPBES produces reports on the state of nature, the benefits it provides, and the threats it faces. Its goal is to help governments and societies understand and address the impacts of human activities on nature, enabling them to implement effective policies for sustainable development and conservation.
