Project Summary

    BACKGROUND

    The UN Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), established during the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) of the Convention on Biological Diversity, set global goals for climate change adaptation, mitigation, and biodiversity protection and restoration. RESPIN aligns with these frameworks by addressing knowledge gaps, fostering coherent policies, enhancing EU-level decision-making, and raising awareness, contributing to the shared objectives of these international agreements.

    ABOUT RESPIN

    RESPIN is an EU-funded lump sum project that commenced in January 2024 in Leipzig, Germany, and will continue until 2027. This project aims to support the integrated provision and use of IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) and IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) processes and outputs.

    RESPIN will identify gaps in knowledge provision and develop strategies to address them, improving the engagement of diverse knowledge holders, with particular support for underrepresented regions in Central Africa, Central Asia, and Latin America. Additionally, the project will facilitate the uptake of IPBES and IPCC outputs within the EU science service mechanism, as well as national and subnational decision-making processes. Measures for digital upscaling and dissemination, along with strategic collaborations, will ensure the availability and impact of the project's outputs beyond its duration.
