Side event announcement: RESPIN joins forces with BioAgora and CO-OP4CBD to strengthen the Science-Policy Interface at COP30 UNFCCC

Details

 

Join us on 17 November in the Blue Zone of COP30 UNFCCC in Belém, Brazil, where RESPIN, together with its sister projects BioAgora and CO-OP4CBD, will co-host a side event on “Science–Policy Interface for Biodiversity and Climate: Experiences from Europe, Latin America and Africa.” 

International experts in biodiversity and climate will share national and regional experiences, explore knowledge gaps, and discuss opportunities for greater cooperation and impact in science–policy work at the climate–biodiversity nexus. The session will be followed by an open discussion on lessons learned and pathways for strengthening regional collaboration in the studied regions.

The session will be opened by Alicia Pérez-Porro, Head of Policy Engagement and Institutional Relations at CREAF and Work Package Lead in RESPIN, followed by contributions from:

  • Josie Antonucci (Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity, University of Oldenburg)  BioAgora 

  • Anna de las Heras Carles (CREAF) – CO-OP4CBD 

  • Carlos Hernández (Instituto Alexander von Humboldt) – RESPIN 

  • Kaisa Mustajärvi (City of Tampere) – NetworkNature

By joining efforts with BioAgora and CO-OP4CBD, RESPIN continues to reinforce the global science–policy interface for biodiversity, supporting the integrated use of IPBES and IPCC knowledge and outputs. Together, the projects aim to empower decision-makers across regions to access, apply, and build upon the scientific insights and capacity-building opportunities.
