The Horizon Europe-funded RESPIN project is proud to announce the upcoming release of its new self-paced online course, “IPBES & IPCC: Bridging Science, Policy and Practice”
Designed as interactive, entry-level learning experiences, this course offers a clear and practical introduction to the science–policy interfaces (SPI) in the fields of biodiversity and climate change. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how the two leading global platforms, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), operate and support international policy processes.
What to expect
- Five engaging, interactive modules
- Free and fully self-paced learning, accessible worldwide
- A certificate of completion
- Direct insights into current global biodiversity and climate science & policy discussions
The course was developed with contributions from renowned institutions and organisations, including UFZ, BELSPO, FRB, HUN-REN, CREAF, UNILU, Humboldt University, UNEP-WCMC, SYKE , Pensoft, and, in particular, CoKnow Consulting , which has brought everything together in this engaging format.
Tailored especially for early-career professionals and those engaging in science–policy interface processes, the course combines expert knowledge with practical perspectives from key actors in biodiversity and climate science and governance.
The first course in the RESPIN online learning series will be released this February.
