Description of Functions
The RESPIN project is organised into five functions, strategically combining related work packages to streamline workflow and promote efficiency, ensuring that teams can focus on specific objectives while fostering synergistic collaboration and maximizing the utilization of specialized expertise.
Function 1 enhances the participation of diverse knowledge holders in IPBES and IPCC by assessing engagement levels, improving capacity-building activities, and fostering long-term collaboration.
Function 2 identifies gaps and barriers in using IPBES and IPCC findings across various levels, aiming to improve data integration, policy coherence, and collaboration between climate and biodiversity efforts.
Function 3 integrates IPBES and IPCC findings into EU decision-making, enhances policy coherence, develops private sector engagement formats, and supports EU delegations in international negotiations.
Function 4 raises awareness of IPBES and IPCC processes by translating findings into accessible resources, developing training courses, establishing a collaborative platform, and fostering strategic partnerships for effective outreach and dissemination.
Function 5 ensures coordination and synergy among project activities through regular meetings, a steering committee, and an Advisory Board, providing complementary reports and recommendations to key partners and remaining adaptable to future developments.
