Countries vary greatly in their ability and experience in supporting and participating in IPBES and IPCC activities. In addition, the knowledge about climate and biodiversity is scattered and not well-integrated, even though there are common themes and methods in both areas.
This project is related to IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) and IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) because these organizations provide crucial scientific information and assessments on biodiversity and climate change.
Here’s why this is important for people interested in RESPIN:
- Empowering Knowledge Holders: IPBES and IPCC produce reports and data that are valuable for understanding biodiversity and climate change. RESPIN aims to help people who hold and use this knowledge to be more involved in science-policy processes, ensuring their insights and data are well-represented.
- Supporting Decision Makers: IPBES and IPCC offer authoritative guidance on environmental issues. RESPIN will help decision-makers at various levels access and apply this knowledge, aiding them in making informed choices about policies and actions.
- Enhancing EU Capacities: By incorporating the work of IPBES and IPCC into its own processes, the EU can improve its ability to address biodiversity and climate challenges. RESPIN will develop strategies for the EU to better use this information in its decision-making and funding strategies.
- Training and Dissemination: IPBES and IPCC outputs include best practices and important findings. RESPIN will create online training programs to spread this knowledge widely, ensuring that more people understand and can implement these best practices.
RESPIN will use the crucial scientific information and assessments from IPBES and IPCC to enhance science-policy interface. For more information on the essential work of these organizations, please visit the IPBES website and the IPCC website, where you can find their latest reports.
