The Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB) and IDDRI are organizing a seminar of discussion and reflection following the fourth plenary of the IPBES (Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services).
Overview:
The fourth IPBES plenary, held from 22nd to 28th February 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, which had a particularly intensive work programme, included the adoption of the first IPBES reports for decision-makers, as well as some clarification of its work programme for the years ahead (in particular which assessments will be conducted, and which postponed). The purpose of this seminar is twofold: to offer an insight into ongoing events and to initiate a thought process on the current and future work of the IPBES, in particular as regards its role in promoting biodiversity, an issue that has not been directly tackled in debates.
Practical information:
Time of event: 1:30pm to 6pm
Institute of Communication Sciences (CNRS/Paris-Sorbonne/UPMC) Conference room (Ground floor).
